Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) uses advanced imaging technology like CT, MRI, or PET scans to precisely target tumors during cancer treatment. It enhances accuracy, reduces damage to surrounding tissues, minimizes side effects, and shortens treatment times. IGRT is effective for various cancers, including brain, lung, and breast cancers. Consult a radiation oncologist to see if IGRT is suitable for you.

When diagnosed with head and neck cancer, it's essential to ask your care team about treatment options, potential side effects, treatment goals, follow-up care, and available support resources. Understanding these aspects allows you to make informed decisions and ensures you receive the best possible care throughout your treatment journey. Don’t hesitate to ask questions—it's your right as a patient.
