planning, as well as conventional two-dimensional
treatment planning and three-dimensional conformational
treatment planning, patients receive the radiation
therapy treatment that is best for them. Additionally,
orthovoltage therapy is available for malignancies
of the skin.
"Radioisotope therapy is available for a
variety of conditions, including thyroid diseases
