All these advancements can limit radiation exposure and also the method of using radiation therapy has also been improved a lot.

Radiation Therapy is playing a major role in the treatment of cancer. The recent advantage of radiation therapy is noted in laryngeal cancers regardless of the laryngectomy that was practiced previously.

The principle behind radiation therapy

Well, the noted principle behind this therapy is targeting the malignant tissue without doing much damage to other tissues. Ionizing radiation is used for killing the cells and this occurred by breaking the DNA strands. A daily small dose of radiation for several weeks allows the healthy cells to recover.

Why traditional radiation therapy is a change to advance?

Traditional radiotherapy comes with inconvenience, toxicities, and doubts. When it comes to choosing this cancer therapy, the traditional methods determine the approximate location. The radiation is usually administered more than 30 daily fractions on the targeted location (number can change based on treatment).

This current approach is presently used in different radiation therapy methods.

  • Stereotactic radiotherapy and radiosurgery

A single treatment is considered to be better than the six weeks of sessions. In such treatments, a high-potency of radiation dose is used for killing the tumor. This is a simple concept behind Stereotactic radiotherapy in which specialized kind of external beam radiation is used. This therapy is primarily used for treatments associated with acoustic neuromas, brain metastases, trigeminal neuralgia, and meningiomas.

This approach is used for the brain while relying on the patient’s immobilization, which means this is ideal for targeting the tumors. Cancer of the liver, lung, spine, kidney, pancreas, and prostate are usually treated with this therapy.

  • Brachytherapy

The radiation source used in brachytherapy can be permanently or temporarily placed within the patient's meant for targeting the tumor. Currently, advanced radiation therapy in South Delhi is suitable for cervical cancer, breast cancer, balloon catheters, and others.

  • Systemic Radiation Therapy

On finding adequate targeting, it is possible for performing internal radiation administering it systemically. According to a report, the radioisotopes get attached to the monoclonal antibodies, which further target the cancer cells. Moreover, it is also ideal for treating non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
