Overview

Radiation therapy is part of cancer treatment and is used to damage cancerous cells' ability to reproduce and shrink the tumor. It may be administered externally through high-powered energy beams directed at the tumor, or internally via the injection of radioactive material into the body (systemic therapy) or the placement of radioactive material near the tumor (brachytherapy).
