“Because it’s so precise. We don’t have to increase the margin radiator a whole larger field. We could just target a very small area and spare the patient a lot of side effects,” he said. Dr. Kumar says they also now have the ability to monitor the tumor in real time during the roughly 40-minute radiation sessions.
