Advanced Radiation Therapy - An Advancement in Cancer Cure & Care

What Is Radiation Therapy? 

Radiation therapy is the means of treating cancer using high energy rays like gamma rays and x-rays. It plays a very crucial role in cancer treatment, and has evolved in the recent decades to create more accurate results, as well as ensuring High levels of radiation, with little to no side-effects.

Radiation therapy has a lot of medical uses in cancer treatment like:

  • Radical therapy – used when the treatment is only possible with radiotherapy.
  • Adjuvant therapy – used after surgery to sterilize the surgical wound and remove any remaining cancer cells.
  • Neoadjuvant therapy – used prior to the surgery in order to reduce the size of the tumor as well as to sterilize the surrounding area.

Radiation therapy is also used to a large extent to treat symptoms like pain and bleeding, thus enabling the patient to live a normal life. It can be used along with chemotherapy to increase the effectiveness of the treatment in particular cases.

Types of Radiation Therapy:

  • Internal radiation therapy: In this process radioactive sources are placed or implanted within the tumor site.
  • External beam radiation therapy: In this process the radiation machine delivers, race, x-ray, heavy ions or protons from the outside of the body.

In recent days, radiotherapy side-effects have been minimal, with new techniques like intensity modulated radiotherapy. In this therapy, several modulated active beams are used around the affected area, to minimize the exposure of radiation in the surrounding areas.

Radiosurgery:

Surgery using radiation, helps destroy cancerous tissues in specific areas using ionizing radiation instead of the conventional surgery, which uses a blade. Many patients today opt for radiosurgery, as it is equally effective and non-invasive as to normal surgeries. It provides a quicker recovery time, better results and is well suited for various patients.

Particle Beam Therapy:

This is one of the most advanced cancer treatment options available today and is a massive achievement in the cancer treatment industry. This therapy uses proton beams instead of x-rays to treat cancer. The positively charged particles can effectively destroy cancer cells, and can be controlled for precise extraction.

Knowing the various treatment procedures, and understanding its source, gives us a proper insight to ensure better treatment options. The goal of any cancer treatment is to ensure a cure for your cancer as well as allow you to live an enhanced lifespan, despite the stage!
