Cancer treatment plan. Screenshot of a radiotherapy treatment plan for targeting prostate cancer (pink) using a linear accelerator. Linear accelerators are used in radiotherapy as a source of high-voltage X-rays, which can deliver a precisely targeted dose of radiation to treat some cancers. This treatment is often combined with surgery or chemotherapy (drug treatment). Also seen here is the bladder (cyan) and part of the rectum (orange, lower centre).
