Abstract

Saif Ali

Prostate cancer is the one of the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men throughout the world. In the recent days, prostate cancer can be managed by several options such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, etc. Radiotherapy is considered as one of the popular options to treat prostate cancer due to excellent survival rate and fewer side effects. The field of radiotherapy is evolving since the days of 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT), and it is now possible to treat the caner using more advanced techniques such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), proton therapy, and carbon therapy. This letter addresses some of the major radiotherapy techniques available for the cancer treatment.
