Frequently Asked Questions

In Spain, which types of cancer are treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)?

Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) is a cutting-edge treatment option in Spain, designed to target various types of cancer with precision. This advanced therapy is commonly employed for treating several cancers, including:

  • Head and neck cancers (such as oral, throat, and laryngeal cancers)
  • Prostate cancer
  • Breast cancer
  • Brain tumors
  • Lung cancer
What is the duration of each session?

Including setup and imaging, IMRT sessions usually last 15 to 30 minutes. Because VMAT administers doses continuously, the treatment time may be shorter (approximately 10 minutes).

What kind of training do the doctors need to complete?

Specialised IMRT training is provided to clinical oncologists and medical physicists, and ongoing education is required. Therapists must also complete accredited courses. Spain centres frequently participate in audits and quality checks.

What happens after IMRT?

Depending on the type of tumour, follow-up takes place 3-6 weeks after treatment and then 3-6 months later. Response and late effects are tracked by imaging and clinical examinations. Recovery, rehabilitation, and chronic toxicity management are all part of CNS's long-term support.

What credentials are necessary for an IMRT oncologist?

An IMRT oncologist is a doctor who focuses on radiation oncology and has received specialised training in Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy. To earn this title, they must first complete a medical degree, complete a residency in radiation oncology, and obtain a license to practice medicine in their country. Most of their IMRT training is done during residency, but they can also enhance their skills through ongoing education, workshops, or practical clinical experience. Certification from recognised medical boards and membership in oncology societies further strengthen their qualifications.

How can I determine whether a hospital has up-to-date IMRT equipment?

To determine if a hospital is equipped with modern IMRT technology, check their brochures or website for mentions of cutting-edge tools like image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), VMAT, or linear accelerators (LINACs). Look for accreditations from JCI, as these are usually signs of up-to-date infrastructure. You can also gather information by asking during your appointment or by visiting our reliable portal, MediGence, which offers verified hospital information and professional guidance.
