The National Nuclear Medicine and Radiotherapy Centre (NNMRC) of the Hospital has begun the treatment of prostate cancers with a new intervention called Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT). Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) is an advanced mode of high-precision radiotherapy that uses computer-controlled linear accelerators to deliver precise radiation doses to a malignant tumor or specific areas within the tumor. IMRT allows for the radiation dose to conform more precisely to the 3-D shape of the tumor by modulating or controlling the intensity of the radiation beam in multiple small volumes. Speaking to the Head of the Centre, Dr Joel Yarney, he said the Centre had within the past two weeks treated and discharged three patients who had prostate cancers. Dr Yarney said the new radiation therapy reduces the side effects of radiation to the patient, adding that “it helps us to adjust the radiation beam to the contours of the cancer, allowing for higher, more effective do...
