Radiation therapy is the use of high-energy beams — most commonly X-rays produced by a linear accelerator — to destroy cancer cells by damaging their DNA beyond repair. It is used across a wide range of cancer types and can be given with curative intent, after surgery to reduce recurrence risk, before surgery to shrink a tumour, or as palliative treatment to relieve symptoms such as pain or bleeding. Treatment is delivered in daily outpatient sessions, Monday through Friday, over a course that may range from a single fraction for palliative bone pain relief to six or seven weeks for a curative course. Modern techniques such as IMRT, VMAT, and IGRT allow the radiation team to shape the dose tightly around the tumour while protecting nearby healthy organs, reducing side effects compared with older approaches.
