What Is Radiation Therapy?

Radiation therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses strong energy beams to kill or shrink cancer cells. It’s a common and effective method used by doctors around the world. At DMIO Hospital, we offer advanced radiation therapy, designed to treat tumors with accuracy while protecting healthy tissues.

How Does Radiation Therapy Work?

Radiation damages the DNA inside cancer cells, stopping them from growing or making more cells. Over time, these damaged cells die and the body naturally removes them. Radiation can be given from outside the body (external beam) or placed inside the body (internal radiation).

Types of Radiation Therapy at DMIO Hospital

We offer a range of advanced Radiation Therapy methods to suit different cancer types and patient conditions, including:

  • External Beam Radiation Therapy : This is the most common form. A machine sends high-energy rays directly to the cancer area from outside the body. It’s painless and usually done in short sessions.
  • Internal Radiation (Brachytherapy) : A small radioactive source is placed inside the body near the tumor. It delivers high doses to the cancer while limiting harm to nearby tissues.
  • Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) : IGRT uses imaging techniques to ensure that radiation is accurately aimed at the tumor every time.
  • Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) : This advanced method shapes the radiation beams to match the tumor’s size and shape, reducing damage to nearby organs.

The Radiation Therapy Process at DMIO Hospital

Our experienced oncology team creates individualized chemotherapy plans based on your cancer type, stage, and overall health. Treatments are administered in our state-of-the-art infusion centres, equipped with comfortable infusion chairs for your safety and ease. We closely monitor your response to therapy, adjusting plans as needed to optimize results. Treatments are typically scheduled every 2 to 3 weeks, depending on your regimen.

Managing Radiation Therapy Side Effects

Radiation therapy is usually safe, but like all treatments, it may cause side effects. These depend on the part of the body treated and the dose given.

Common side effects may include:

  • Tiredness or fatigue

  • Skin changes or irritation

  • Hair loss (only in treated area)

  • Nausea or digestive issues

  • Difficulty swallowing (for chest or neck radiation)

Most side effects are temporary and go away after treatment. Our medical team will guide you throughout the process to manage and reduce any discomfort.

Understanding Long-Term Effects

While chemotherapy is highly effective, some patients may experience long-term effects like fatigue, cognitive changes, nerve damage, or organ damage. Our oncology team provides ongoing monitoring and support to address these effects, helping you maintain physical and emotional well-being after treatment.

Is Radiation Therapy Safe and Effective?

Why It’s Safe:

  • Advanced Technology: Modern machines target only the cancer area, protecting healthy tissues.
  • Expert Monitoring: Your treatment is carefully planned and monitored by a skilled oncology team.
  • Controlled Doses: Radiation is given in precise amounts to reduce side effects.

Why It’s Effective:

  • Kills Cancer Cells: Radiation damages the DNA of cancer cells, stopping their growth.
  • Works with Other Treatments: It can be used along with surgery or chemotherapy for better results.
  • Reduces Symptoms: Even when a cure isn’t possible, it helps relieve pain or discomfort caused by tumors.

Most people tolerate radiation well, and any side effects are usually temporary. At DMIO, your safety, comfort, and results are our top priorities
