Technique
External beam radiation therapy (EBRT)
External beam radiation therapy (EBRT) is a type of radiation therapy that uses one or more beams to deliver high energy x-rays to a cancerous tumour.
Technique
Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)
Intensity modulated radiation therapy [IMRT] is high precision radiation therapy that delivers high dose radiation to cancerous tumours, while limiting impact on healthy surrounding tissue.
Technique

Technique
Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)
Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) involves the use of external radiation therapy beams being directed in a series of arcs or angles to allow for greater access to a cancerous tumour.
Technique
Brachytherapy
Brachytherapy is a special form of internal radiation therapy where a radioactive source is placed beside or inside the tumour, to deliver radiation to small areas over a period of time.
Technique
Stereotactic radiation therapy
Stereotactic technology is an advanced technique used to treat small tumours with well-defined edges in the brain, spine or lung, including tumours that have spread from a primary cancer.
