Radiation therapy is safe and effective. It has been used for over 100 years to target cancer cells while preventing damage to healthy surrounding tissues. Radiation therapy works by damaging the genetic material inside cancer cells. Once this happens, they are not able to grow and spread. Radiation therapy is often used in combination with other treatment options, such as chemotherapy, surgery and immunotherapy. The majority of cancer treatment plans include radiation therapy. Radiation therapy can be used for many reasons including curing a patientβs cancer, reducing symptoms caused by a tumor, and minimizing the risk of a cancer returning.
