TrueBeam delivers powerful and precise radiation treatment to heal brain tumor patient

by The Department of Radiation Oncology | 9 years ago

At the UC Irvine Health Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, almost no tumor is out of reach. The image-guided TrueBeam™ STx linear accelerator delivers radiation therapy to patients in record time with unequaled power and precision. Doctors can target the smallest and most hidden cancer — all while protecting normal tissue. Using TrueBeam, brain tumor patient William Norris needed only one 10-minute session, rather than the traditional 10 or 15 treatments over two to three weeks. The same results can be achieved during a single TrueBeam treatment as with longer duration radiotherapy.
