Maimonides Cancer Center in Borough Park is leading the way in cancer treatment with the implementation of Adaptive Radiation Therapy (ART). This innovative system promises to cut treatment times from several weeks down to just days while delivering better, more precise results. The technology addresses a central challenge in traditional LINAC radiation therapy by allowing for frequent updates on tumor status through adaptive imaging. This adaptability enables oncologists to tailor treatments based on the tumor's current volume and position, ultimately limiting radiation exposure to healthy tissue and reducing side effects for patients.
Maimonides Cancer Center has launched a cutting-edge Adaptive Radiation Therapy (ART) system that reduces cancer treatment duration from weeks to days, enhancing results.
This new technology responds to changes in tumor size and position, enabling more accurate treatments by conducting frequent imaging, thus minimizing risks associated with traditional methods.
Unlike traditional LINAC therapy that relies on static imaging, ART provides clinicians with adaptive replanning capabilities that can be performed daily, capturing real-time changes.
The ART system limits radiation exposure to healthy tissues, reducing side effects and the likelihood of complications, ensuring higher safety for patients undergoing treatment.
