Radiotherapy, also referred to as radiation therapy, is a highly effective form of cancer treatment that uses high-energy radiation to eliminate cancerous cells. Radiation therapy is commonly utilized for treating a wide range of cancers, including those affecting the brain, breast, lung, and prostate. It is often employed in conjunction with other treatment modalities, such as surgery, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, to increase the chances of successful outcomes.
