When is radiation therapy used?

Radiation treatment devising is meant to ensure that the radiation therapy will have supreme benefits with minimum inherent risk. This involves working out an exact site, an angle of radiation, dose, and so on.

Radiology and Oncology 2018 estimates that around 70% of cancer patients receive radiation therapy as part of their treatment at some point.

Cancers that can be particularly suitable for radiation therapy aimed at curing the disease are those that are well-defined and confined. This allows the complete range of malignant tissue to be targeted by the radiation. In contrast, some modes of cancer - lymphoma or leukaemia, say - can be treated with total body irradiation. Radiation therapy can be used to decrease indications, begun by tumour growth. Radiation contributes an option to the replacement of the vocal chords, avoiding surgical wound while holding a similar efficiency as surgery.

Radiation therapy can be used adjacent both surgery and chemotherapy. Sarcomas or tumours of the breast, oesophagus, lung or rectum may be treated with all three modalities.

Radiation planning can be a complete process comprising of a number of health-care experts, including researchers and consultants (radiologists and oncologists), nurses, radiographers and other technicians at the 2^nd world congress on Radiology and Oncology going to be held at Dubai, UAE during July 16-17, 2018.
