What is "Cancer Radiotherapy"

Cancer Radiotherapy

Cancer Radiotherapy in turkey : Over 100 types of cancers affect humans.

According to the world health organization:  Around one third of deaths from cancer are due to the 5 leading behavioral and dietary risks: high body mass index, low fruit and vegetable intake, lack of physical activity, tobacco use, and alcohol use.

Cancer radiotherapy : Radiation therapy uses high-energy particles or waves, such as x-rays, gamma rays, electron beams, or protons, to destroy or damage cancer cells.

Gamma Knife therapy, like all radiosurgery, uses doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors, delivered precisely to avoid damaging healthy brain tissue. Gamma Knife radiosurgery is able to accurately focus many beams of gamma radiation on one or more tumors.

Despite its name, Gamma Knife surgery involves neither traditional surgery nor an actual knife. Gamma Knife radiosurgery is called “surgery” because its outcome is similar to that of a surgical procedure.

How long will I stay in the hospital?

The Gamma Knife procedure is generally performed on an outpatient basis, so you will go home at the end of the day.

Will I need to take any special medications?

No, you will not need to take any special medications for the procedure. If you feel some discomfort after the procedure, such as a headache or nausea, you will be given medication for relief.
