What Is Radiation Therapy?
Radiation therapy is one of the many tools used to treat cancers and some benign diseases. Radiation treatments utilize high-energy waves to kill cancer cells. Radiation can be used alone or in conjunction with other treatments, such as surgery or chemotherapy, to cure or stabilize cancer.
The choice to use radiation to treat a particular cancer depends on a wide range of factors. These include, but are not limited to, the type of cancer, the physical state of the patient, the stage of the cancer, and the location of the tumor.
