Radiation Therapy for Lung Cancer
Radiation therapy is an important treatment option for lung cancer. It involves delivering high-energy beams of radiation to the cancer cells in order to damage them enough to stop their growth. Radiation therapy can be used to shrink tumors, reduce pain, reduce the risk of spread, and improve quality of life. It is used in combination with other treatments such as surgery and chemotherapy, which can help to increase the effectiveness of the treatments. Radiation therapy can also be used to provide a cure for certain stages of lung cancer. The benefits of radiation therapy for lung cancer are significant, and it is an important treatment tool for many patients.
