Presentation Transcript

  1. What is radiation therapy? • With the advancement in technology, now it is possible to heal cancer. This procedure is called radiation therapy • Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation to shrink tumors and kill cancer cells. • X-rays, gamma rays, and charged particles are types of radiation used for cancer treatment. • The radiation may be delivered by a machine outside the body (external-beam radiation therapy), or it may come from radioactive material placed in the body near cancer cells (internal radiation therapy, also called brachytherapy). • Systemic radiation therapy uses radioactive substances, such as radioactive iodine, that travel in the blood to kill cancer cells. www.cancercarepune.com | +91 989 023 3887 

  2. How does radiation therapy kill cancer cells? • Radiation therapy kills cancer cells by damaging their DNA  • Cells normally grow and divide to form new cells. But cancer cells grow and divide faster than most normal cells. Radiation works by making small breaks in the DNA inside cells. • Radiation treatment is planned to damage cancer cells, with as little harm as possible to nearby healthy cells www.cancercarepune.com | +91 989 023 3887 

  3. How is radiation therapy given? Radiation therapy can be given in following ways: • External beam radiation therapy, in which the beam of radiation is focused onto the treatment area by an external machine. • Internal radiation therapy, such as brachytherapy, in which a radioactive substance is placed in or close to the cancerous tissue in a temporary or permanent implant. • Systemic radiation therapy, Radioactive drugs given by mouth or put into a vein are used to treat certain types of cancer. These drugs then travel throughout the body. The type of radiation you might get depends on the kind of cancer you have and where it is. In some cases, more than one type is used. www.cancercarepune.com | +91 989 023 3887 

  4. When will a patient get radiation therapy? • A patient may receive radiation therapy before, during, or after surgery. • Some patients may receive radiation therapy alone, without surgery or other treatments. • Some patients may receive radiation therapy and chemotherapy at the same time.  • The timing of radiation therapy depends on the type of cancer being treated and the goal of treatment (cure or palliation). www.cancercarepune.com | +91 989 023 3887 

  5. What research is being done to improve radiation therapy? • Researchers are also studying radiosensitizers and radioprotectors, chemicals that modify a cell's response to radiation: • Radiosensitizers are drugs that make cancer cells more sensitive to the effects of radiation therapy. Several agents are under study as radiosensitizers. In addition, some anticancer drugs, such as 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin, make cancer cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. • Radioprotectors (also called radioprotectants) are drugs that protect normal cells from damage caused by radiation therapy. These drugs promote the repair of normal cells exposed to radiation. Many agents are currently being studied as potential radioprotectors. www.cancercarepune.com | +91 989 023 3887
