Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses high-energy waves or particles to destroy cancer cells. The radiation damages the DNA in cancer cells, preventing them from growing and dividing. This localized treatment can be delivered through various methods such as external beam radiation therapy, internal radiation therapy (brachytherapy), or systemic radiation therapy (radioisotopes). Side effects may include fatigue, skin changes, hair loss, and gastrointestinal issues.
