Mays Cancer Center, home to UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center, introduces the newest technology in treating prostate cancer. This innovative method is called stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), a minimally invasive therapy using high amounts of radiation with millimeter precision to destroy tumors in the prostate. Stereotactic body radiation therapy is a […]
