Radiation Therapy

What is Radiation Therapy?

Radiation therapy is a kind of cancer treatment that uses intense rays, like X-rays, to kill cancer cells. These beams reach deep into the body and inhibit the harmful cells from spreading or multiplying. It is a highly frequent and safe technique to treat a lot of different kinds of cancer. Radiation therapy doesn't pain while it's happening and the goal is to make the tumor smaller or get rid of it totally.

Why Do People Need It?

Radiation therapy is used by doctors to reduce cancer, destroy cancer cells that are still there after surgery or treat cancer that surgery can't get rid of. It is the sole treatment needed at times. Sometimes, it works with surgery, chemotherapy or immunotherapy to help the patient get better. It is also used in the later stages to ease pain or other symptoms caused by cancer.

How Does It Work?

Doctors use scans like CT or MRI to discover the exact location of the tumor before therapy begins. Then, a unique plan is designed just for you so that the radiation gets straight to the cancer and doesn't hurt any healthy portions of your body. Usually, a huge equipment that points the rays at the tumor from outside the body gives the treatment. This is known as external beam radiation. Sometimes, doctors put a small device inside the body to send radiation close to the malignancy. This is known as internal radiation or brachytherapy.

What Happens During the Treatment?

Most of the time, radiation therapy is done in short sessions, such once a day, five days a week, for a few weeks. It doesn't hurt and simply takes a few minutes for each session. The machine moves around you while you lie still on a table. The machine makes a noise but you can't feel the radiation. You can go home and do what you usually do after the session. The number of sessions varies on the type of cancer and how far along it is.

What Are the Side Effects?

Radiation can also affect healthy cells, which might make you weary, give you red or dry skin, or disrupt your appetite. The side effects vary on where on the body the treatment is being done. Some people have trouble going to the bathroom or swallowing, but these symptoms normally go away when the therapy is over. During this period, doctors and nurses give you medicine and advice to help you feel better.

Life After Radiation

Your body will start to mend after the treatment is over. Most people get stronger and feel better over time. It is crucial to go to the doctor regularly to examine how well the therapy worked and to make sure the cancer doesn't come back. To keep healthy, eat well, get enough sleep, and see your doctor if you feel sick.
