Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy involves the use of high-energy radiation to target and destroy cancer cells. This form of treatment can be delivered externally, using a machine that aims radiation beams at the tumor, or internally, through the placement of radioactive materials directly into or near the cancerous tissue. Radiation therapy is often used in conjunction with other cancer treatments, such as surgery and chemotherapy, to help shrink tumors, alleviate symptoms, and prevent cancer from recurring. It is carefully planned and monitored by a team of healthcare professionals to minimize damage to healthy cells and maximize its effectiveness in eradicating cancerous growths.
