What are the Benefits of Radixact® Radiation Therapy?

When someone is diagnosed with cancer, they are presented with a large amount of information. If you have been told you will receive Radixact® radiation therapy, your Cochise Oncology team will guide you through the treatment process and the many benefits of this safe, highly effective cancer treatment option.

What is Radixact® Radiation Therapy?

Radixact® is a type of radiation therapy system that uses precisely targeted beams of radiation to focus energy on the tumor without harming the surrounding tissues. Radixact® is a form of TomoTherapy® that combines real-time CT scanning and a helical treatment platform that provides therapy from all angles. It damages cancer cells while protecting healthy tissue for a safer treatment and fewer side effects.

What are the Benefits of Radixact® Radiation Therapy?

Your Cochise Oncology team uses the most advanced forms of radiation therapy to achieve your best results. Radixact® is a form of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) that uses X-ray energy to target cancer cells.

More Targeted Treatment

Radixact® uses CT scans to establish the exact borders of your tumor. It scans you from all sides, then administers the treatment with many small, focused beams instead of one stronger one. These focused beams are customized in strength to ensure they damage more cancer cells and fewer healthy ones.

Reaches More Tumors

Because it works from all angles and can avoid damaging healthy tissues, Radixact® radiation therapy can be used for hard-to-reach tumors or those located close to important structures. Radixact® is also used to treat secondary or treatment-resistant tumors with excellent results.

Fewer Side Effects

Radixact® reduces damage to healthy tissue with its pinpoint radiation, CT scanning and ability to adjust to your motions, even breathing. As a result, most people return to their usual activities immediately and experience minimal side effects, although some people experience fatigue or minor skin irritation.

Better Results

When you are treated with Radixact® radiation therapy, your tumor receives X-ray energy from all sides, focused to deliver maximum damage to cancer cells. Radixact® offers the safest, most effective results, even with hard-to-treat types of cancer and can be combined with chemotherapy or immunotherapy for even better results.

Am I a Good Candidate for Radixact® Radiation Therapy?

Your Cochise Oncology team will perform a comprehensive medical assessment to determine whether radiation therapy should be part of your treatment plan. Good candidates for Radixact® usually have solid tumors that the beams can focus on. Certain types of cancer respond better to radiation therapy than others, so your team will discuss your treatment options based on your unique test results.
