Tomotherapy can be used to treat all areas of the body because it has a complete 360 degrees, free-range movement. It is used to treat patients with hard-to-reach tumours including prostate, lung, head and neck cancers, which are usually deep in the tissues or near important healthy tissues. Tomotherapy helps in the management of spinal cord cancer, lymphoma (cancer of the immune system) and paediatric cancer (cancer in children).
