Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells or stop their growth while protecting healthy tissues.
Radiation therapy is a widely used cancer treatment that works by using high-energy rays to damage the DNA of cancer cells, preventing them from growing and dividing. It may be used as a primary treatment or in combination with surgery, chemotherapy, or other advanced cancer therapies.
At Suryoday Cancer Centre, radiation therapy is delivered using advanced technology and evidence-based treatment planning. Our multidisciplinary oncology team ensures precise targeting of tumors while minimizing side effects and preserving quality of life.

Preparation before radiation
Before starting radiation therapy, patients undergo detailed evaluation including imaging scans and treatment planning. The oncology team carefully maps the treatment area, explains the procedure, and discusses expected outcomes and possible side effects.
-
How radiation therapy is given
Radiation therapy is delivered in carefully planned sessions using specialized equipment to target cancer cells precisely. Treatments are usually given over multiple sessions to maximize effectiveness while protecting surrounding healthy tissues.

After radiation therapy care
After radiation therapy, patients are monitored for treatment response and side effects. Follow-up visits, supportive care, and rehabilitation services help manage symptoms and promote recovery.
Radiation therapy effectively destroys cancer cells, reduces tumor size, and helps control disease progression. It can relieve symptoms, improve outcomes, and support long-term cancer management.

Possible side effects of radiation therapy include fatigue, skin irritation, localized discomfort, or changes in the treated area. Side effects depend on the treatment site and are usually manageable with medical care.
Radiation therapy may not be suitable for all cancer types or stages. Treatment outcomes depend on tumor location, size, and patient health, and multiple sessions are often required.
