Radiotherapy is radiation treatment, which uses some special high-tech rays to kill cancer cells.
It can effectively prevent postoperative cancer recurrence.
Especially for tumors that cannot be fully removed by surgery, radiotherapy is of great significance. It can completely eliminate the remaining tumor cells.
Here it must be explained why for some cancer patients, after being diagnosed with cancer, doctors do not rush to perform surgery but instead propose a radiotherapy treatment plan.
Many patients may not understand and feel that doctors are deliberately adding treatment items, tormenting patients, and making unscrupulous money.
Patients are more worried that delaying too long will lead to metastasis of the tumor, missing the best timing for surgical treatment.
In fact, doctors have good intentions, the purpose of preoperative radiotherapy is to reduce the spread of cancer cells, lower the rate of lymphatic spread, and increase the chances of excising recurrent tumors.
