There was no difference in second primary cancer risk among older adult male patients treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) vs 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy for prostate ...

For patients with intermediate- or low-risk localized prostate cancer, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and proton beam therapy are both safe and effective options, according to results of ...

You can have IMRT on a standard radiotherapy machine, called a linear accelerator (LINAC). The LINAC has a device called a multileaf collimator. The multileaf collimator is made up of thin leaves of ...
