调强放射治疗 (IMRT) 在放射治疗界得到广泛应用。由于越来越多的文献支持剂量递增和正常组织的限制，前列腺癌是 IMRT 的理想靶标。由于需要密切升级以及传统放射治疗的局限性，因此需要精确的患者和前列腺定位以及先进的治疗实施。由于新技术的引入，前列腺癌的治疗方法可以集中于靶标，同时避开正常组织。 IMRT 正在发展成为前列腺癌未来的治疗方法。
Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is gaining widespread use in the radiation therapy Community. Prostate cancer is the ideal target for IMRT due to the growing body of literature supporting dose escalation and normal tissue limitations. The need for close escalation and the limits of conventional radiation therapy necessitate precise patient and prostate localization as well as advanced treatment delivery. The treatment of prostate cancer has been dramatically altered by the introduction of technology that can focus on the target while avoiding normal tissue. IMRT is evolving as the treatment of the future for prostate cancer.
