Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy can be used alone or in combination with other therapies to kill cancer and can be given in several different ways.

External Beam Radiation is the most widely used type of radiation therapy. It is used to treat large areas of the body or more than one area at the same time.

Brachytherapy involves placing a source of radiation directly into or near the area that needs treatment. This internal treatment delivers a high dose of radiation to a small area in a fairly short period of time with less damage to healthy tissue.

Radiopharmaceuticals are drugs that contain some radioactive materials and are taken by mouth or injected into a vein. They can act as a “magic bullet” to deliver radioactivity to a tumor site while sparing most of the surrounding tissue.
