Cancer Treatment
Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)

At Mays Cancer Center, home to UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center, our team pioneered the use of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) decades ago. Today, our experts use IMRT to treat certain cancers, such as prostate and lung cancers, with incredible precision. IMRT’s increased effectiveness — with fewer side effects — offers new possibilities for what you can do during and after cancer treatment.
