? Cancer Treatment Redefined
Radiation therapy is one of the three main cancer treatments alongside surgery and chemotherapy. It uses high-energy particles or waves to kill or damage cancer cells, sparing healthy tissue.
? Innovations in Radiation Therapy
Proton Beam Therapy: Highly precise and less harmful to healthy cells
Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT): Combines imaging with treatment for better targeting
Software-Driven Planning: AI algorithms help in creating highly personalized radiation doses
? Global Disparities
Access to radiation therapy remains limited in developing nations, but international collaborations and government investments are helping expand infrastructure.
? What’s Ahead?
The future will bring further integration of AI, real-time adaptive treatment, and lower-cost compact machines that can be deployed in regional hospitals.
