Radiotherapy, a cornerstone of cancer treatment, utilizes high-energy radiation to target and destroy cancerous cells. Its efficacy stems from its ability to damage the DNA within these cells, impeding their ability to proliferate. This treatment modality has evolved significantly, with advancements like intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) offering more precise and targeted delivery, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
Moreover, emerging techniques such as proton therapy hold promise in further enhancing treatment outcomes by precisely directing radiation to tumors while sparing adjacent organs. Despite its effectiveness, radiotherapy can induce side effects, including fatigue, skin irritation, and potential long-term complications. Continued research focuses on refining radiotherapy protocols, exploring combination therapies, and developing novel radiation delivery systems to improve patient outcomes and quality of life in the fight against cancer.
