External beam radiation therapy uses high doses of radiation to destroy cancer cells and shrink tumors. People often have some side effects from treatment. They usually happen because radiation therapy can injure healthy cells that are near the cancer cells it is destroying. Radiation therapy isn’t painful, but some of the side effects it causes can be. For instance, if you are getting radiation to the head and neck area, you might have a sore throat, trouble swallowing, or mouth sores. These can hurt. … but be sure, Pain is not part of cancer treatment. More than half of people with cancer receive some type of radiation therapy. For some cancers, radiation therapy alone is an effective treatment. Other types of cancer respond best to combination treatments. This may include radiation therapy plus surgery, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy. Our Radiation oncologist Dr. Sasipriya Govindaraj has handled and is handling cancer patients with this radiation therapy. She broke the myth that cancer is incurable and very expensive to cure. Not all the side effects caused due to radiation are permanent – darkening of skin, hair regrowth, change in skin texture reverts back in due course of time. People need is eliminate few insecure thoughts about radiation treatment and reach out to the right place for quality care.
