Methods of increasing the Effectiveness of Radiotherapy in Destroying Cancer Cells

Saideh Saba Mirgozar Langroudi

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Radiation therapy is a widely used cancer treatment that utilizes high-energy radiation to target and destroy cancer cells. However, challenges such as resistance to radiation and exposure of healthy tissue to the radiation can limit its effectiveness. In this article, we explore various methods that have been developed to increase the effectiveness of radiation therapy in cancer treatment. These methods include fractionation, image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), radio sensitizers, hyper fractionation, and immunotherapy. By using these techniques, healthcare professionals can precisely target cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. Understanding these methods and their benefits can lead to the development of more effective treatment plans for cancer patients. This article provides insights into how to optimize radiation therapy for improved outcomes in cancer treatment.
