Thank you for the link. I was reading this section and it seems that accuracy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_therapy#Medical_uses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_therapy#Medical_uses and movement are the main things that hold it back. I hope they can remedy that.
- sxg 7y agoThere are some other limitations as well. Radiation therapy can cause scarring in different tissue types. The scarring can sometimes be problematic depending on the location and extent. Second, the radiation itself can lead to the development of secondary cancers. Often, younger patients with lymphoma receive radiation to the neck area, which can cause thyroid cancers later in life. Despite these drawbacks, radiation therapy is massively beneficial and great for patients. The whole therapy is delivered in ~30 minute sessions over the course of a few weeks, and the entire procedure is painless.
