Role Radiation Oncology for Cancer Treatment
Understanding Radiation Oncology
Radiation oncology is a branch of medicine that uses targeted high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells. It is a cornerstone in cancer treatment, often used alone or in combination with surgery and chemotherapy. The precision of radiation ensures maximum impact on cancer cells while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.
Benefits of Radiation Therapy
No cuts or incisions are required
Targets cancer cells with minimal impact on surrounding tissues
Suitable for head, neck, breast, lung, prostate, and other cancers
Allows patients to return to daily life soone
Types of Radiation Therapy
- Breast Cancer
- Prostate Cancer
- Lung Cancer
- Head and Neck Cancers
- Brain Tumors
- Gastrointestinal Cancers
- Cervical and Uterine Cancers
Globally, studies show that about 50-60% of cancer patients benefit from radiation therapy during their treatment journey.
