Radiation therapy is one of the most common and most effective cancer treatments that is used worldwide. ILS Hospital Agartala offers advanced radiation therapy designed to precisely target cancer cells while minimising the damage to the surrounding healthy tissues. It plays a vital role in curing cancer and improving the quality of life.

What is radiation therapy?

Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays or particles to kill cancer cells. Unlike chemotherapy, which affects the whole body, radiation therapy focuses on the specific area,making it the optimal choice for localised cancers or for preventing cancer from returning in
the same area.

Benefits

1. Kills cancer cells
Radiation therapy works by destroying the DNA structure inside cancer cells, preventing them from multiplying. Due to this, the damaged cells die and are naturally eliminated by the body.
2. Reduced risk of recurrence
Radiation therapy is often used after surgery to kill remaining microscopic cancer cells,lowering the chance of cancer coming back.
3. Shrink tumour before surgery
It is also used to shrink large tumours, making it easier for surgeons to remove them without damaging healthy tissues.
4. Relieves symptoms
It can also be used in palliative care to relieve pain, pressure, and other symptoms caused by cancer. It is usually used in advanced stages of cancer to give patients a little comfort and a better quality of life.
