Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to target and destroy cancer cells, effectively shrinking tumors and controlling their growth. It’s particularly beneficial for localized treatment, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. This non-invasive approach can be used alone or in combination with other treatments, often improving outcomes and quality of life for cancer patients. However, it may cause side effects and requires careful planning.
