What is helical tomotherapy

Pursuant to helical tomotherapy, a cancer focus is isolated from other nearby tissues for radiation. As being mild in nature while killing cancer cells, this therapy can be quite useful, even for cancer that is beyond the reach of particle ray therapy. It is suggested to assist this therapy with anticarcinogen treatment or immunocyte therapy.
