Preview- It would seem to be apparant that, internal radiation (i.e., radiatio) therapy (i.e., therapeusis, or therapia) allows a higher total dose of radiation in a shorter time than is possible with external (i.e., externus) treatment and places the radiation source as finale as possible to the cancer cells. Therapy, treatment. Radiation therapy is the use of high-energy radiation from x-rays, gamma rays, neutrons, protons, and other sources to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation may come from a machine outside the body (external-beam radiation therapy), or it may come from radioactive (i.e., radio-) material placed in the body near cancer cells (internal radiation therapy). Radioactive, giving off radiation. Systemic radiation therapy uses a radioactive substance, such as a radiolabeled monoclonal antibody, that travels in the blood to tissues throughout the body. Also called irradiation and radiotherapy (i.e., radiation oncology). Internal radiation therapy is a type of radiation therapy in which radioactive material sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters is placed directly into or near a tumor. Also called brachytherapy, implant radiation therapy, and radiation brachytherapy. Radiation, energy released in the form of particle or electromagnetic waves. Common sources of radiation include radon gas, cosmic rays from outer space (i.e., spatium), medical x-rays, and energy given off by a radioisotope (unstable form of a chemical element that releases radiation as it breaks down and becomes more stable).
- It seems that, radiation may come from a machine outside the body (external-beam radiation therapy), or it may come from radioactive material placed in the body near cancer cells (internal radiation therapy. External-beam radiation therapy is a type of radiation therapy that uses a machine to aim high-energy rays at the cancer from outside of the body. Also called external radiation therapy.
- One can presume that, brachytherapy (also called seed implantation or interstitial radiation therapy) uses small radioactive pellets, or seeds, each about the size of a grain of rice. Interstitial radiation therapy is a type of internal radiation therapy in which radioactive material sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters is placed directly into a tumor or body tissue. Brachytherapy is a type of radiation therapy in which radioactive material sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters is placed directly into or near a tumor. Also called implant radiation therapy, internal radiation therapy, and radiation brachytherapy.

Preview- It`s possible to observe, many other factors are considered by when selecting a dose, including whether the patient is receiving chemotherapy, patient comorbidities, whether radiation therapy is being administered before or after surgery, and the degree of success of surgery. Surgery is a procedure to remove or repair a part of the body or to find out whether disease is present. An operation. Chemotherapy, treatment with drugs that kill cancer cells.
- It`s possible to observe, as used in radiation therapy, devices mounted on the walls and ceiling of the treatment room pointing to the treatment machine`s isocenterto allow accurate positioning of the patient from day to day.
- It could seem to be apparant that, for example, prostate (i.e., prostata, or glandula prostatica) and larynx cancer are often treated with radiotherapy alone, while a woman with breast (i.e., mamma, or teat) cancer may be treated with surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Larynx is the area of the throat (i.e., gullet) containing the vocal cords and used for breathing (i.e., pneusis), swallowing, and talking. Also called voice (i.e., vox) box. Breast cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the breast, usually the ducts (tubes that carry milk (i.e., strip, or lac) to the nipple (i.e., papilla mammae, or mammilla)) and lobules (glands that make milk). It occurs in both men and women, although male (i.e., masculine) breast (i.e., mamma masculina, or mamma virilis) cancer is rare. Prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system (i.e., genital system). The prostate surrounds the part of the urethra (the tube that empties the bladder) just below the bladder, and produces a fluid that forms part of the semen (i.e., seed, or seminal fluid). Breast, glandular (i.e., glandulous) organ located on the chest (i.e., pectus). The breast is made up of connective tissue (i.e., interstitial tissue, or supporting tissue), fat, and breast tissue that contains the glands that can make milk. Also called mammary gland (i.e., glandula mammaria, or lactiferous gland). Radiotherapy is the use of high-energy radiation from x-rays, gamma rays, neutrons, protons, and other sources to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation may come from a machine outside the body (external-beam radiation therapy), or it may come from radioactive material placed in the body near cancer cells (internal radiation therapy). External-beam radiation therapy is a type of radiation therapy that uses a machine to aim high-energy rays at the cancer from outside of the body. Also called external radiation therapy. Internal radiation therapy is a type of radiation therapy in which radioactive material sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters is placed directly into or near a tumor. Also called brachytherapy, implant radiation therapy, and radiation brachytherapy. Systemic radiotherapy uses a radioactive substance, such as a radiolabeled monoclonal antibody, that travels in the blood to tissues throughout the body. Also called irradiation and radiation therapy.
