Program Overview

Radiation Therapy an important part of today's health care field. It involves the use of high energy x-rays, gamma rays, or fast particles such as electrons or protons for the treatment of cancer. This treatment is provided to cure the patient or to relieve the painful symptoms of the disease (palliation). Small doses of radiation are given over a period of time to add up to a larger dose of radiation. The radiation is given in this manner so cancer cells will die from the injuries they encounter while normal tissues repair themselves in the time between one treatment and the next.
