Radiation Therapy for CANCER TREATMENT

Radiation Therapy

Radiation is a form of extreme energy generated by a radioactive substance, such as cobalt, or by functional equipment, such as an atomic bit accelerator.

Radiation as a choice assassinate cells that break rapidly and cells that have difficulty repairing their  DNA.Cancer cells break more often than normal cells and often cannot repair damage done to them by radiation. Therefore, cancer cells are more likely than most natural cells to be assassinate by radiation. Nonetheless, cancer cells differ in how easily they are assassinate by radiation. Few cells are very resistant and cannot be effectively treated with light.





Types of Radiation Therapy

The common of radiation therapy used in cancer treatment is
  • External beam radiation
  • Internal radiation therapy

Radioactive items can also be add to proteins called monoclonal antibodies, which seek out cancer cells and add to them. The radioactive material attached to the antibody focuses at the cancer cells and destroys them.

External beam radiation


In outside beam radiation therapy, a shine of electromagnetic radiation energy, either gamma rays or x-rays, is generated by a linear accelerator and aimed at the person's cancer. Radiosurgery is a type of radiation therapy in which very focused beams of radiation are used.

There are lots of types of external beam radiation, including
  • Three-dimensional consistent radiation 
  • Intensity-modulated radiation therapy 
  • Image-guided radiation therapy 
  • Tomotherapy
  • Stereotactic radiosurgery
  • Stereotactic body radiation therapy
  • Proton beam radiation
  • Electron beam radiation therapy

Internal radiation


In another radiation therapy scheme, a radioactive substance may be injected into a vein to travel to the cancer  In another technique, people may swallow the radioactive substance.
