Volumetric modulated arc therapy is new technology introduced in 2007 that delivers treatment with accuracy and speed. It is a novel radiation technique, which can achieve highly dose distributions with accurate target volume hence reducing the risks to normal tissues. The volumetric modulated arc therapy has the potential to reduce treatment delivery time when compared to the intensity modulated radiotherapy.
The volumetric modulated arc therapy can deliver the entire dose to the tumor in a 360-degree rotation in a small amount of time. It uses special computer software and an advanced linear accelerator to deliver the treatment much faster than previously possible. It incorporates the use of an algorithm that ensures treatment is done with precision to spare the health tissue surrounding that area.
Currently, there are several volumetric modulated arc therapy systems all with different names. They include:
A team of radiation specialists and oncologists plan accurately the dose of radiation that better suits the patient. They decide on how many radiation beams to use and the angles they will be delivered from to ensure the complete eradication of the cancer.
Once the team is done with the initial planning, they calculate the dosage to be administered to that area and the treatment begins.
This technique is used in treatment of cancers such as:
The Volumetric modulated arc therapy technique has very little exposure to the normal tissue hence the possibility of side effects are low. However, possibility of side effects is still possible. The side effects may include:
Key facts to plan your treatment: how long it takes, your hospital stay, anaesthesia, risks and recovery.
