Radiation Therapy
What is Radiation Therapy?
Radiation therapy is a targeted cancer treatment that uses high-energy rays or particles to destroy cancer cells. It works by damaging the DNA of cancer cells so they can no longer grow or multiply. At Solaris Oncology, radiation therapy is delivered with precision, safety, and minimal discomfort, ensuring healthy tissues are protected as much as possible.
Why Choose Radiation Therapy?
Radiation therapy may be recommended to:
1. Cure or control certain cancers
2. Shrink tumors before surgery
3. Destroy remaining cancer cells after surgery
4. Relieve symptoms such as pain or bleeding
5. Treat cancers that cannot be removed surgically
