What is Radioatherapy?
Radiotherapy is a method of treatment which uses ionizing radiation as a therapeutic solution to oncological diseases, which can also be indicated for certain benign pathological situations. X-rays are the most common type of radiation – similar to those used in x-ray scans – used to destroy or impede the growth of dangerous cells. During oncological treatment, the dosage amount is carefully calculated to ensure that the surrounding healthy cells are able to recover whilst the malignant cells are destroyed. Radiotherapy can also be used to reduce the tumorous volume or for symptomatic pain relief or haemorrhagic control.
