Cancer radiotherapy, also known as radiation therapy, is a medical treatment that uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors.
Here are some common types as below:
1. Consultation and Planning:
Initial consultation with a radiation oncologist to determine the type of radiotherapy.
Imaging tests (CT, MRI, PET scans) to locate the tumor and plan treatment.
Creating a custom treatment plan based on the type, location, and stage of the cancer.
2. Simulation:
A simulation session to map the treatment area.
Marking the skin or creating immobilization devices to ensure the patient stays in the same position during each treatment.
3. Treatment Delivery:
EBRT: Patients lie on a treatment table while a machine delivers radiation. Sessions are usually daily, 5 days a week, for several weeks.
Brachytherapy: Placement of radioactive material inside the body for a specific period, which can be temporary or permanent.
Systemic Radiotherapy: Administration of radioactive drugs orally or intravenously.
4. Post-Treatment Care:
Regular follow-up appointments to monitor the patient’s response to treatment and manage any side effects.
Supportive care to address side effects such as fatigue, skin irritation, and other potential complications.
