October 2007 (Medialink) -- It is estimated
more than two million men are living with
prostate cancer in the United States, with
about one in six expected to get the disease
at some point in their lives, according to
the American Cancer Society.
Thankfully, new treatment technologies are
making surviving the disease more likely
than ever. But there’s a catch – more and
more Americans are too large to be treated
using traditional equipment.
Enter CTVision, which combines top of the
line CT and radiation technologies to locate
tumors and to deliver radiation therapy
directly to them.
This results in better and more effective
cancer treatment for patients of all shapes
and sizes.
