Radiotherapy Treatment
Radiation, which is a special type of energy carried by waves and particles, is produced by special devices and propagated by radioactive materials. Thanks to this energy, it can be used in cancer treatments as well as imaging in medicine. Special devices are needed to direct radiation to diseased tissues. The use of high radiation energy with these devices to treat diseases is called radiotherapy, also known as radiation therapy.
This procedure is used to shrink the tumor before surgery, to clean the microscopic cancer cells that may remain after the operation, as a treatment with chemotherapy without surgery, and to relieve pain and other discomfort. It is applied in two different ways, externally and internally. In most patients, this procedure is performed externally. With the help of the device, radiation is applied to the diseased tissue by sending it from outside in the form of rays.
