Pharyngeal Cancer Treatment: Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy is one of the three, primary forms of pharyngeal cancer treatment. Experienced oncologists at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) use radiation to both treat your disease and relieve pharyngeal cancer symptoms.
Radiation therapy may be used almost anywhere in your body, either alone or in combination with surgery or chemotherapy. Techniques continue to evolve, enabling your CTCA care team to deliver higher radiation doses to pharyngeal cancer cells, all the while minimizing exposure to your normal and healthy tissues.
Leading-edge techniques, including High-Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy and Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), help your CTCA team strengthen your fight against pharyngeal cancer.
