En particulier, les innovations technologiques permettent maintenant aux médecins de manipuler les rayonnements, afin de cibler avec précision la tumeur, empêchant ainsi d'endommager les tissus environnants. De telles techniques sont appelées radiothérapie conformationnelle, car le faisceau suit étroitement la forme de la tumeur.
