Are they talking about having the adjuvant Radiation real soon? I would not be surprised because the fact that you’ve Had such an aggressive case. The only one of those radiation techniques I’ve heard of is VMAT, Where they use 3-D treatment to get to all of the spots, they were radiate going around your body.
Are any of these MRI guided? That would be the best option, but I don’t know from the description of the names. What actually they mean by them.
This technique sounds really interesting and might have real good chance of not affecting my tissue.
SGRT with HyperArc is a highly precise, automated, and non-invasive radiotherapy technique for treating brain tumors and metastases. It combines Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT)—which uses 3D cameras to monitor patient movement in real-time—with HyperArc, a technology that delivers high-dose, conformal radiation (radiosurgery) from multiple angles (non-coplanar arcs)
You looked at the descriptions of the other techniques, Did any of them seem better than this one?
@jeffmarc The cancer center my husband goes to also offer Ethos, but he is not a candidate for it because his radiation area is vast anatomical region (prostate bed & pelvic lymph nodes plus the SIB). The Ethos machine is made by Varian. From what I was told by another PC patient in Germany, it is similar to MR Linac systems (such as Elekta Unity or ViewRay MRIdian) in term of both system being advanced radiotherapy technologies, which is designed for Online Adaptive Radiotherapy (ART). It does take longer time to complete each session, comparing to VMAT technique.
