Radiotherapy
- Is using ionizing radiation, as a part of cancer treatment, to kill malignant cells.
- Is normally delivered by a linear accelerator.
- Can be delivered anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated.
Radiotherapy has 2 goals:
- To control/eradicate the growth of the tumor.
- To do so while minimizing exposure to the surrounding normal, healthy tissue.
- Advances in radiotherapy have been made recently thanks to improvements in imaging modalities, powerful computers & software and delivery systems.
