Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy, also known as radiotherapy, is a type of cancer treatment that uses high-energy X-rays, gamma rays, and other types of radiation to kill cancer cells and stop them from growing. By destroying cancer cells and preventing them from dividing and spreading to other areas of the body, radiation therapy can help reduce tumors, relieve symptoms such as pain, and help stop the spread of cancer. Radiation therapy is used in combination with other treatments such as chemotherapy, surgery, and targeted therapy. When used alone, radiation therapy can sometimes eliminate tumors altogether. It is a powerful tool in the fight against cancer, and a safe treatment when administered by a qualified healthcare professional.
