Radiotherapy, also known as radiation therapy, is a highly effective cancer treatment that uses controlled doses of high-energy rays (such as X-rays or protons) to destroy or shrink cancer cells. It works by damaging the DNA of cancer cells, stopping their growth and preventing them from spreading.
At Dr. Sk Haidar Ali’s Oncology Services, radiotherapy is carefully planned and precisely delivered using advanced technology to target tumors while protecting the surrounding healthy tissues. It may be used as the main treatment, before or after surgery, or in combination with chemotherapy, depending on the patient’s condition and treatment goals.
Patients may undergo external beam radiotherapy, where a machine directs radiation from outside the body, or in some cases, brachytherapy, where a radioactive source is placed inside or close to the tumor.
Although radiotherapy is painless, some patients may experience temporary side effects such as skin changes, fatigue, or localized discomfort. Our team focuses on providing personalized care, supportive management, and continuous monitoring to ensure comfort and safety throughout the treatment process.
