Radiation Therapy Its Uses & Benefits

Radiation Oncology is one of the specialized treatment protocols in cancer care that involves the use of high-energy particles – usually photons or revolutionary protons - to attack cancer cells. Radiation Oncology is an evolving ecosystem with new revolutionary treatments emerging constantly. Cancer Treatment Using Radiation Therapy Ideal Situation For Radiation Therapy: To Cure Early-Stage Cancer Radiation therapy is ideally suited to cure cancers which are extremely sensitive to radiation. Exposure to radiation beams shrinks these cancers or removes them completely. In the early stages of cancer care, radiation is often used to complement chemotherapy, or as a precursor to surgery. Critical Adjunct In Multi-Modal Therapy Radiation therapy is used in combination with other forms of treatment, like Proton therapy , Medical or Surgical Oncology, to attack cancer cells. Radiation can shrink tumors before chemotherapy or surgery, or attack residual cancerous tissue ...

What is the ideal situation to use Proton Therapy?

Apollo Proton Beam Therapy Treatment Following are the ideal situation to use the proton beam therapy to cure cancer: 1. For Curing Early Stage Cancer: Radiation therapy is ideally suited to  cure cancers  which are extremely sensitive to radiation. Exposure to radiation beams shrinks these cancers or removes them completely. In the early stages of cancer, radiation is often used to complement chemotherapy, or as a precursor to surgery. 2. It is a Critical Adjunct in Multi-Modal Therapy: Radiation therapy  is used in combination with other forms of treatment, like Medical or Surgical Oncology, to attack cancer cells. Radiation can shrink tumors before chemotherapy or surgery, or attack residual cancerous tissue after other treatment modalities have been used. 3. To Control Cancers From Recurring in other parts of the body: Oncologists often use empirical evidence to predict the course cancer could take. However, cancer has a demonstrated propensity to s...
