Radiotherapy, also known as radiation therapy, is a type of cancer treatment that uses high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. It works by damaging the DNA inside cancer cells, which makes it difficult for them to grow and divide. There are two main types of radiotherapy: external beam radiation therapy and internal radiation therapy (brachytherapy). External-beam radiation therapy is delivered from a machine outside the body, and the radiation is targeted at the area of the body where the cancer is located. This type of therapy is usually given over a period of several weeks, with daily treatments lasting a few minutes each. Internal radiation therapy involves placing a radioactive source inside the body, either temporarily or permanently. This type of therapy is often used to treat certain types of cancer, such as prostate cancer or cervical cancer.
