Radiotherapy
Radiotherapy Section
Radiotherapy (or radiation therapy) is a medical treatment that utilizes ionizing radiation to eliminate or control the growth of cancer cells. This method can be used alone or in combination with surgery and chemotherapy to treat various types of cancer. The goal of radiotherapy is to maximize its effect on malignant cells while minimizing damage to healthy cells.
The process of radiotherapy
Before treatment begins, a simulation phase is conducted to determine the precise position, size, and angle of radiation. Based on this information, a treatment plan is developed, and radiation therapy is administered during scheduled sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is recommended to undergo radiotherapy?
Radiotherapy is recommended when an individual has a type of cancer that can be managed with radiation therapy, or when treatment is needed after surgery to prevent the recurrence of the disease. The choice of treatment method is determined by an oncology specialist.
Does radiotherapy cause pain or any specific sensation?
During radiation therapy, most individuals do not experience any noticeable pain or discomfort. The rays used in the treatment are imperceptible to humans, so typically, no sensations are felt during the procedure.
How long does it take to complete radiotherapy?
The duration and number of treatment sessions vary depending on the type and stage of cancer. Some patients may require daily treatment for several weeks, while advanced techniques may involve fewer sessions. These plans are determined by a specialist physician.
