Radiotherapy
technology is one of the treatment lines for cancer. The process involves the
deposition of energy in the targeted cells through ionising radiation causing
destruction of the cells and ceasing their growth. Radiotherapy can be used as
a primary treatment option for cancer before surgery to shrink a cancerous
tumour. It can also be used after surgery to stop the growth of any remaining
cancer cells or in combination treatment with chemotherapy or to alleviate
symptoms caused by cancer.
