Radiotherapy, also called radiation therapy includes the use of ionizing radiation as a way to treat Cancer patients. This treatment acts by controlling as well as destroying malignant cells. Additionally, it could lead to treatment of several types of Cancer if the cells have not yet spread to different sections of the body. Apart from being used as a complimentary therapy with the intention of preventing the growth from recurring after a surgery, for instance during the early stages of breast Cancer, it is also used with curative intent. Radiation therapy is often combined with hormone therapy, surgery, immunotherapy or chemotherapy.
