Melanoma Treatment: Radiation Therapy
One of the three traditional forms of treatment for melanoma, radiation therapy is used by oncologists at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) to both help treat melanoma and relieve its symptoms. Particularly for advanced stage melanoma (stages III or IV), radiation oncologists may use radiation therapy in conjunction with surgery and/or chemotherapy.
Innovative delivery techniques for radiation therapy continue to evolve, allowing CTCA oncologists to deliver higher radiation doses to cancer cells while limiting exposure to your normal tissues.
