Radiation Therapy at ILS Hospitals

Radiation therapy is a medical treatment that uses high-energy radiation to destroy or damage cancer cells. It can be used to treat a wide range of cancers, including those of the breast, lung, prostate, and brain. The radiation works by disrupting the DNA within cancer cells, preventing them from growing and dividing. Over time, these damaged cells are eliminated from the body.

Types of Radiation Therapy Offered at ILS Hospital

At ILS Hospital, we provide different types of radiation therapy, depending on the nature and location of the cancer. These include:

1. External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT): This is the most common form of radiation therapy where a machine directs high-energy beams of radiation at the cancer from outside the body. The treatment is non-invasive and is typically given over several sessions.
2. Brachytherapy: This involves placing radioactive sources inside or near the tumor. Brachytherapy is particularly effective for cancers in areas like the prostate, cervix, and breast.
3. Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS): For tumors located in the brain or spine, SRS provides high-precision radiation beams that target the tumor with minimal impact on surrounding healthy tissue.
4. Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT): IMRT is an advanced form of EBRT that uses computer-generated images to precisely target the tumor while minimizing exposure to healthy tissue.
