Radiation Therapy

Radiation is a form of energy free in particles or waves. In high doses, radiation destroy cells or keeps them from multiply.

Radiation therapy is a cancer action. Its goal is to kill cancer cells and shrink tumor. Unlike cancer cells, most of your normal cells recover from emission therapy. Doctors try to protect normal cells by warning the radiation dosage and spreading treatment out over time. When they use radiation equipment, they shield as much of your body as probable while targeting the cancer.

The radiation for cancer action comes externally, from special machines, or internally, from radioactive substance that a doctor places in your body. Sometimes emission is used with other treatment, like surgery or chemotherapy.
