• Radiation Essentials

  Radiation therapy is the use of high energy rays or particles to destroy abnormal cells and treat tumors, both benign and cancerous tumors. Radiation given outside the body may also be referred to as external beam treatment, X-ray therapy, irradiation or electron beam. External beam radiation is delivered using a linear accelerator ( a large machine which creates high energy rays which is positioned close to your body.) Radiation has been established as one of the most effective ways to treat cancer and its application has had profound positive effect on cancer survival. To learn more click here.
