  • What is radiation therapy, and will I need it?
    Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells or shrink tumors. It can be delivered externally (external beam radiation) or internally (brachytherapy).

It can be administered orally or intravenously and can be given as the primary treatment or in combination with other treatment modalities. Whether you need chemotherapy depends on various factors, including the type of cancer, stage, and treatment goals.
  • How long will my treatment last?
    The duration of cancer treatment varies depending on several factors, including the type and stage of cancer, the specific treatment modalities used, and how your body responds to treatment. Some treatments may be completed within a few weeks, while others may extend over several months or even years.
