What are the benefits of Intensity Modulated Radio Therapy (IMRT)?

IMRT allows for precise delivery of radiation to the tumor while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues, resulting in fewer side effects and better treatment outcomes.

What is Stereotactic Radio Therapy (SRT) and how does it differ from IMRT?

SRT is a highly focused radiation therapy technique used for smaller tumors, delivering a high dose of radiation in a single or a few sessions. IMRT, on the other hand, delivers radiation in multiple sessions to larger tumors, shaping the radiation beam to conform to the tumor's shape.

What is Brachytherapy and when is it used?

Brachytherapy involves placing radioactive seeds or implants directly inside or near the tumor, delivering high doses of radiation to the target area. It is used for various cancers, including prostate, breast, and cervical cancers.

What is Image Guided Radio Therapy (IGRT) and how does it improve treatment?

IGRT uses imaging techniques like X-rays or CT scans during treatment to ensure accurate delivery of radiation to the tumor, improving treatment precision and reducing side effects.

What types of central nervous system tumors does Dr. Gorijavolu Durgaprasad treat?

Dr. Gorijavolu Durgaprasad treats a variety of central nervous system tumors, including brain tumors, spinal cord tumors, and pituitary tumors.

What are the differences between Stereotactic Radio Surgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Body Radio Therapy (SBRT)?

SRS is used for small tumors in the brain, delivering high doses of radiation in a single session. SBRT is used for tumors in other parts of the body, such as the lungs, liver, or spine, delivering high doses of radiation in a few sessions.
