Targeted treatment of tumors<\/h2><\/div>In radiotherapy or radiation therapy, tumors are treated with ionizing radiation<\/b>. During this process, energy\u2014calculated by the physicist\u2014is targeted into a volume defined by the physician to destroy the tumor and any potential secondary growths (metastases)<\/b>. <\/p>\n
Thanks to major advances in imaging and modern computing power, radiotherapy can now be administered in a highly targeted manner.
