Radiation therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses high energy x-rays to destroy the undesirable cancer cells. It can also be in other forms such as electron beams, proton beams, or gamma rays from radioactive sources. Radiation therapy is a localised treatment, which means it generally affects only the area being treated. Treatment is carefully planned to do as little harm as possible to the normal body tissue near the cancer. Radiotherapy can be the main treatment of cancer or being used along with chemotherapy, as well as before, or after surgery. Your treatment method is decided according to the type of the tumor, its size, and the medical decision taken for each patient individually.
