Radiation therapy is one of the major pillars of cancer treatment along with surgery and chemotherapy (anticancer drugs). Because it is possible to treat cancer without being cut off by radiation therapy, it is a treatment with less burden on the body.
Radiation therapy treats cancer cells by damaging them and killing them. The surrounding normal tissue is also damaged, but the recovery of damage is faster than that of cancer cells, so that normal tissue can survive even if the cancer cells die. In radiation therapy, this characteristic is used for treatment.
The treatment time for one treatment is 10-30 minutes, depending on the content, but treatment is done 5 times a week for several weeks.
