Radiation Therapy
    

Directory Listing(s) :


Each person responds differently to radiation (high-energy rays used to kill cancer cells), but there are steps you can take for good self-care that will help protect your skin and minimize the side effects of radiation.

Radiation therapy is offered to breast cancer patients to rid the body of any microscopic cancer cells that may remain near the area where the cancer was removed.
