Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is an advanced form of radiation therapy designed specifically for treating prostate cancer. It utilizes focused beams to precisely target tumors, which minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissues. According to Dr. Karen Hoffman, SBRT not only provides an efficient treatment option for patients, reducing the overall duration of therapy, but it also demonstrates long-term side effects that are comparable to more traditional radiation therapies. This innovation represents a significant step forward in the landscape of prostate cancer treatment.
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a revolutionary approach to treating prostate cancer, using focused beams to precisely target tumors while minimizing exposure to surrounding tissues.
Dr. Karen Hoffman emphasizes that SBRT provides prostate cancer patients with an effective treatment alternative that not only shortens overall therapy time but also maintains similar long-term side effects compared to traditional methods.
