   Radiation therapy uses high-energy particles or waves, such as x-rays, gamma rays, electron beams, or protons, to destroy or damage cancer cells. Your cells normally grow and divide to form new cells.

   Jun 10, 2021 · Radiation therapy is one of the most common forms of cancer treatment. It uses high-energy X-rays to pinpoint and destroy cancer cells. Radiation damages the cancer cells causing them to stop multiplying. We asked radiation oncologist Valerie Reed, M.D., to explain some of the most common types of radiation therapy and how they are used. Here ...

   What is external radiation therapy for breast cancer?

   • External radiation therapy is directed at all of the breast including the skin and the muscles on the chest. You may also be offered radiation to the lymph nodes under the arm (called the axillary lymph nodes) because research shows that this may lower the risk that the breast cancer will come back and may improve survival.

   When does radiation therapy start for breast cancer?

   • If chemotherapy and radiation therapy are both part of your treatment plan, radiation therapy usually starts after chemotherapy is finished. This is because the side effects of some chemotherapy drugs given for breast cancer may be worse if you also have radiation therapy.

   How does radiation therapy kill cancer cells?

   • Radiation therapy kills cancer cells or slows their growth by damaging their DNA. Radiation therapy (also called radiotherapy) is a cancer treatment that uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. At low doses, radiation is used in x-rays to see inside your body, as with x-rays of your teeth or broken bones.

   How does radiation affect cancer cells?

   • But cancer cells grow and divide faster than most normal cells. Radiation works by making small breaks in the DNA inside cells. These breaks keep cancer cells from growing and dividing and cause them to die. Nearby normal cells can also be affected by radiation, but most recover and go back to working the way they should.

    Aug 15, 2023 · Why do we use radiation to treat breast cancer? At MD Anderson, our experts focus on personalized radiation treatment plans for each patient’s specific cancer. To minimize side effects, radiation is delivered only to the areas considered high-risk for hiding any residual breast cancer cells.
