3D conformal radiation therapy: A novel approach in the treatment of head and neck cancer

• To minimize damage to surrounding healthy tissues, 3D-CRT precisely targets head and neck cancers using advanced imaging. • Compared to traditional radiation, this technique reduces the possibility of both short-term and long-term adverse effects, such as xerostomia. • Higher radiation dosages to tumors are possible due to 3D-CRT's accuracy, which may improve therapy effectiveness and survival rates. • Chemotherapy and surgery are frequently combined with 3D-CRT to improve overall treatment efficacy and customization.
