In addition to Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), your team may use a state-of-the-art technology called Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) .

Every day, immediately before your treatment, robotic arms on either side of the machine will image your tumor. The machine will then correct for any variation in the position of the tumor, ensuring that we are targeting the cancer cells as accurately and precisely as possible, every time. Ultimately, this prevents excess radiation exposure to your healthy tissue, which minimizes the chance of side effects.

At Cancer Care of Western New York, we treat more patients with IMRT and IGRT on a daily basis than many large university centers and cancer centers.
