Adaptive radiotherapy is an approach that adjusts your radiation plan daily, accounting for changes in your anatomy. It allows for safer, faster, and more focused treatment.
In conventional radiation therapy, a treatment plan is created once, based on a single CT scan taken weeks before treatment begins. That same plan is then used for 20 to 45 sessions.
Your body is not static. Tumors shrink as they respond to treatment. Internal organs like the bladder and rectum fill and empty, shifting day to day.
Adaptive radiotherapy takes new 3D images of your anatomy at every single session while you are on the treatment table. Advanced software then recalculates and optimizes the radiation delivery for your exact anatomy in that moment.
