Radiation therapy is a treatment used in the fight against cancer. It involves the use of high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells and reduce the size of tumors.
It is administered precisely and controlled, targeted to the area affected by cancer.
The radiation damages the DNA of cancer cells, preventing their growth and reproduction. Although it can also affect healthy cells, it is administered in safe and scheduled doses to minimize side effects.
Radiation therapy can be used as a primary treatment or in combination with surgery or chemotherapy.
