Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells or slow their growth. It is commonly used alone or in combination with surgery, chemotherapy, or other targeted treatments.
What Is Radiation Therapy?
Radiation therapy works by damaging the DNA of cancer cells, preventing them from growing and dividing. Treatment is carefully planned to target cancer cells precisely while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
Types of Radiation Therapy
1. External Beam Radiation Therapy
Radiation delivered from an external machine directed precisely at the cancer site.
2. Brachytherapy
Placement of radioactive material inside or near the tumor for targeted treatment.
3. Palliative Radiation Therapy
Used to relieve pain, control bleeding, or reduce symptoms in advanced cancer.
