Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses strong beams of energy, such as X-rays, to destroy cancer cells. It is a common form of treatment for many types of cancer, such as prostate, breast, and lung cancer. Radiation therapy works by damaging the genetic material inside the cancer cells, causing them to die. Its effectiveness depends on the type of radiation used, the dose, and the specific tumor to be treated. Radiation therapy can be used to reduce the size of tumors before surgery, or to stop cancer cells from growing and spreading. It is a safe and effective way to treat cancer, with minimal side effects.
