Radiation Therapy for Cervical Cancer
Radiation therapy is one of three primary forms of conventional cervical cancer treatment used by the experts at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA). Radiation therapy is used to treat cervical cancer, as well as for relief of related cervical cancer symptoms. Radiation therapy may be used as the sole conventional treatment for cervical cancer, or it can be used in conjunction with surgery or chemotherapy.
Radiation therapy techniques continue to be refined, enabling radiation oncologists to deliver higher radiation doses to cervical cancer cells, while limiting doses to normal reproductive tissue.
At CTCA, radiation oncologists can strengthen your cervical cancer treatment with advanced radiation techniques, such as High-Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy and Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT).
