Answer – Radiation therapy is a type of cancer treatment. It uses high-energy beams which kill malignant cancer cells. In radiotherapy mostly, a high-energy X-Ray is used. The high-energy beam is produced by a machine. This beam can be aimed at a precise point or area of your body, to kill cancer cells in that area.
Both healthy and cancerous cells are damaged by radiotherapy. But the radiation oncologist tries to damage as few normal cells as possible. The damaged normal cells can repair themselves.
