Cure the Cancer through Radiation

Radiation can be used to kill or decrease the cancer cells by acting on the genes that are required for the expansion of cells through divisions, and to stimulate the mechanism which the cells are sloughed off when the replacement of the cells takes place. Radiation therapy is used to treat cancer by facilitating the mechanism as mentioned above. The types of radiation used for radiation therapy include X-ray, γ (gamma) -ray and electron ray. In addition, although it is still in research and development phase, some of the medical facilities are applying proton and heavy particle radiotherapy for a part of the treatment regime.

The benefits of radiation therapy is that the therapeutic effects for cancer can be expected without having to surgically remove the affected areas, thus keeping the organs intact, or keeping the function of the organs the same as before the patient fell ill with cancer. The effects (effectiveness or the degree of healing achieved) can vary significantly depending on the type of the cancer, and the side effects can vary from the position of the treatment area. Applicability of the radiation therapy, and how it should be applied, when applicable, will be examined based on the clinical condition determined by the stage of cancer, patient's condition, and the treatment histories.
