Wellbeing A-Z -Radiotherapy

Radiotherapy is a cancer treatment that can be used with other methods like surgery or chemotherapy. It affects all cells in the targeted area, but healthy cells recover better. Radiotherapy can be external or internal, with external sessions being quick and painless but having side effects like fatigue and skin rashes. Internal radiotherapy requires a hospital stay. Some cancers respond well to radiotherapy, while others are resistant. Smoking can reduce the effectiveness of radiotherapy, so quitting is advised.
