Overview

Radiation therapy is a treatment option for cervical cancer that uses high energy radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation can be used to target a specific area in the body, allowing radiation to be directed solely at the tumor. It can be used alone or in combination with other treatments, such as surgery and chemotherapy. The goal of radiation therapy is to destroy the cancer cells while sparing the surrounding healthy tissue. It is often a preferred treatment choice because of its convenience and minimal side effects compared to surgery or chemotherapy. In addition, radiation therapy is an effective way to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and can also be used to improve a patient's quality of life by alleviating symptoms such as pain or difficulty breathing.
