What is Radiation Therapy?

Radiation Therapy is a specialized cancer treatment that uses high-energy radiation beams to destroy cancer cells, shrink tumors, and prevent further growth. It works by damaging the DNA of cancer cells, stopping their ability to multiply while minimizing impact on surrounding healthy tissues through precise targeting techniques.

Radiation therapy may be used as a primary treatment, after surgery to eliminate remaining cancer cells (adjuvant therapy), before surgery to shrink tumors (neoadjuvant therapy), or in combination with chemotherapy and targeted therapy. It is commonly used for breast, lung, prostate, cervical, head & neck, brain, and gastrointestinal cancers.

Modern radiation oncology utilizes advanced planning systems and image-guided techniques to deliver accurate radiation doses with improved safety, better tumor control, and reduced side effects.

Step-by-step process

How is Radiation Therapy Delivered?

Radiation therapy is administered in a specialized radiation oncology department using advanced planning and imaging systems.

Initial Consultation & Simulation

Detailed imaging (CT simulation, MRI, or PET-CT) is performed to map the tumor location accurately.

Treatment Planning

Radiation oncologists design a personalized radiation plan using computerized dose-calculation systems to protect healthy tissues.

Positioning & Setup

Patients are positioned carefully using customized immobilization devices to ensure accuracy during each session.

Radiation Delivery

High-energy beams are delivered through a linear accelerator, targeting the tumor precisely.

Monitoring & Follow-Up

Regular reviews monitor side effects and treatment response throughout the therapy course.

This structured process ensures optimal tumor targeting with maximum patient safety.
