Program Overview
Radiation Therapy is the use of high-energy ionizing radiation to treat cancer and some benign diseases. The goal of radiation therapy is to damage the cancer cells’ DNA and destroy its ability to divide and grow, while sparing the surrounding normal tissue. This may be accomplished using highly sophisticated equipment to deliver external beam radiation or using brachytherapy in which radioactive sources are placed inside the patient on a temporary or permanent basis. Radiation Therapy may be used to cure cancer or to relieve pain and other symptoms associated with cancer.
