Radiation
Radiation therapy, or radiotherapy, uses carefully planned ionizing radiation to damage cancer-cell DNA, control local tumor growth, reduce recurrence risk, preserve organs, or relieve symptoms. It can be given externally, internally, or systemically and is often combined with surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, or targeted therapy.
