Multiple Myeloma Treatment: Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy is one of the three primary forms of medical treatment for multiple myeloma used by the cancer experts at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA). Radiation therapy can provide relief from symptoms of multiple myeloma. It may be used alone, or in combination with chemotherapy or surgery, almost anywhere within your body.
Over the years, delivery methods for radiation therapy have evolved significantly. Today’s leading edge radiation therapies, including TomoTherapy® and external beam radiation therapy, enable higher doses of radiation to be targeted at malignant plasma cells (myeloma cells), while preventing the radiation from being distributed to normal, healthy tissues as much as possible.
At CTCA hospitals, experienced radiation oncologists use advanced radiation techniques to strengthen your fight against multiple myeloma.
