Radiation therapy techniques can include: Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR), Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS), Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT), Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH), and specialised non-surgical treatment for skin cancer.

Exercise Therapy
Considerable research and clinical evidence has established that exercise may be beneficial for people with cancer; however, there is no one-size-fits-all approach.1,2 Every person’s circumstances are unique and these should be taken into account. Tailored exercise programs designed by an exercise professional that include both aerobic and resistance training activities have been shown to provide benefits.3
