Different Treatments For Prostate Cancer
The treatment had made use of radiation therapy since 1915.
During those
times the results have not been very acceptable because the radiation rays
did not infiltrate deeply in irradiating the cancer cells and instead to skin
tumor and morbidity.
However, in 1980 equipments such as linear
accelerators were utilized by oncologists.
These helped to get to targeted
areas better and added the pace of the elevated energy elements being
delivered.
There are three types of radiation which rely on the kind of high energy
elements being delivered in the treatment of cancer.
- 3D-CRT (3 Dimentional Conformal Radiation Therapy) - uses subatomic
electrons on aiming elevated energy particles/waves some photon radiation
- Neutron Beam Therapy which uses neutrons
- Proton Beam Therapy which uses protons
