Questions with Verified Answers
Radiation - Answer-High speed energy carried by waves or stream of particles.
It can come from radioactive substances or special machines.
When radiation energy is used at high levels, it can treat cancer and other illnesses.

Cancer - Answer-A tumor, or an overgrowth of abnormal cells. These cells grow by
multiplying or dividing to rapidly make new tumor cells. The ability to multiply without
limits, grow quickly, and grow into surrounding normal tissues makes cancer cells
different from normal cells.

Radiation Therapy - Answer-Is one of four approaches to the treatment of cancer. The
other three are surgery, chemotherapy, and biological therapy. Since each type of
cancer is unique, research has helped physicians determine which treatment or
combination of treatments is appropriate for each type of cancer. Radiation therapy may
be used alone or in combination with surgery, chemotherapy, and/or biological therapy.

Cure - Answer-Radiotherapy given with the aim of curing the cancer on its own or
combined with other treatments. Such as surgery or chemotherapy. This may be called
curative treatment.

Control (Prophylactic Treatment) - Answer-Radiotherapy used to control the cancer by
making it smaller or stopping it from spreading.

Symptom Relief (Palliative Treatment) - Answer-Radiotherapy is often able to relieve
symptoms such as pain or bleeding, to help you to feel as well as possible.

Help other treatments - Answer-Radiotherapy is used before (Neoadjuvant) or after
(Adjuvant) other treatments. The aim is to make the main treatment more effective.

External Radiotherapy - Answer-The patient will lie on a treatment table underneath a
machine, which aims radiation beams towards the body.
The machine remains outside of the body and doesn't come into contact with the
patient.
Radiation beams are directed towards the cancer and surrounding tissues where the
cancer may have spread.

Internal Radiotherapy - Answer-A radiation source is placed inside the body on or near
the cancer.
This includes Brachytherapy, where a temporary or permanent radiation source is put
inside the body on or near the cancer or radioisotope treatment, where a radioactive
isotope is given as a capsule.
