What IMRT Treats

IMRT is used for many cancer types, especially when high precision is needed:

• Head & neck cancers
• Prostate cancer
• Breast cancer
• Lung cancer
• Brain tumors (glioma, meningioma, metastasis)
• Gastrointestinal cancers
• Gynecologic cancers
• Pediatric tumors
• Lymphomas
• Soft tissue sarcomas

It is ideal for tumors located near sensitive organs such as the spinal cord, brainstem, heart, lungs, or salivary glands.

Advanced IMRT Techniques Available

IMRT (Standard Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy)

Shaped radiation beams from multiple angles with varied intensity.

VMAT (Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy)

A faster, more advanced form of IMRT that delivers radiation in a continuous arc with high precision.

Image-Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT)

Daily imaging (CBCT, X-ray) ensures accurate patient positioning and tumor targeting.

Stereotactic IMRT (SBRT/SRT)

High-dose, ultra-precise treatments for small tumors or metastasis.

Adaptive Radiotherapy

Plans adjusted during treatment for tumors that shrink or move.

PET-CT–Guided Planning

Highly accurate contouring for complex tumors.

Treatment Journey in Türkiye

1. Pre-Arrival Consultation
   You send CT/MRI/PET-CT scans, pathology reports, and previous treatments.
2. Specialist Review
   A radiation oncologist determines if IMRT is appropriate and prepares a plan.

4. Arrival in Türkiye
   Airport pickup and transfer to your hotel.
5. Radiotherapy Simulation (Planning CT Scan)
   A custom immobilization device is created; CT scan is performed for precise planning.
6. Treatment Planning (Dosimetry & Physics)
   Medical physicists design your personalized IMRT plan to maximize tumor dose and protect healthy tissue.
7. Daily IMRT Sessions
   Treatment is usually given Monday–Friday over several weeks.
8. Weekly Oncologist Check-ups
   Side effects are monitored and managed.
9. Follow-Up After Treatment
   Scan schedule and medical guidance continue long-term.

Expected Results & Recovery

• IMRT often reduces tumor size or stops growth
• Lower side-effect rates compared to conventional radiotherapy
• Treatments are painless and usually take 10–20 minutes
• Most patients can continue daily activities
• Early side effects depend on treatment area (fatigue, skin irritation, dry mouth, mild swallowing difficulty, etc.)
• Late side effects are minimized thanks to IMRT precision

Your radiation oncologist will create an individualized plan for managing symptoms and recovery.

Risks & Considerations

IMRT is safe and highly controlled, but may include:

• Fatigue
• Mild skin redness
• Temporary inflammation in treated organs
• Rare long-term tissue changes
• Need for supportive care depending on tumor location

Türkiye’s radiotherapy centers follow strict international radiation safety guidelines.
Your doctor will explain all expected risks and mitigation strategies.
