Radiation Therapy in Gynecology

Radiation therapy is a treatment modality used in gynecology to target and destroy cancer cells in the pelvic region. It involves the use of high-energy radiation beams to damage the DNA of cancer cells, preventing them from growing and dividing. Radiation therapy may be used as a primary treatment or in combination with other therapies, such as surgery or chemotherapy, to effectively manage gynecologic cancers. Radiation therapy is a valuable treatment option in gynecology, offering the potential for effective tumor control and improved outcomes for women with gynecologic cancers.
