Radiation therapy is a therapy used in the treatment of cancer, which consists of using high doses of radiation to destroy cancer cells and reduce tumors.
The main goal of treatment is to destroy cancer cells and delay tumor growth without damaging nearby healthy tissue. When it is not possible to completely destroy the cancer, radiation therapy is used to shrink tumors, relieve pain and other symptoms, improving the quality of life of the person.
