Radiation therapy can also help with some diseases, z. For example, joint pain, arthritis, tennis elbow, bursitis.
How does radiotherapy work?
- A device sends radiation to the diseased area.
- The radiation destroys diseased cells.
- Healthy tissue is protected.
- The treatment does not hurt and only takes a few minutes.
What is cancer?
Cancer occurs when cells multiply uncontrollably.
They can form nodules (tumors).
Some tumors are harmless (benign), others are dangerous (malignant).
What does radiotherapy do?
Radiation therapy can help:
- Cure cancer
- Relieve pain
- Support other treatments, e.g. surgery
The radiation works exactly where the tumor is.
Radiation does not hurt and often only lasts a few minutes.
