A radiation treatment routine, or timetable, for the most part comprises of a particular number of therapies given over a set period.

Goals of radiation therapy

Radiation oncologists use radiation treatment to annihilate disease cells and slow cancer development while restricting the damage to local solid tissue.

Different times, individuals get radiation treatment after medical procedure or treatments utilizing prescription, similar to chemotherapy. This is called adjuvant treatment. It targets disease cells staying after the underlying treatment.

A machine called a direct gas pedal, or linac, makes the radiation bar for x-beam or photon radiation treatment. Extraordinary PC programming changes the shaft's size and shape. This helps focus on the growth while keeping away from sound tissue close to the disease cells.
