Role of Radiation Therapy in Cancer Treatment | Dr. Aditi Tanwar

In this video, Dr. Aditi Tanwar, Junior Consultant in Radiation Oncology at Dharamshila Narayana Superspeciality Hospital, Delhi, explains the role of radiation therapy in cancer treatment. Cancer is a deadly disease caused by the irregular division of cells, often resulting from modifications in the DNA. Radiation therapy plays a crucial role in treating all types of cancer by targeting and destroying abnormal cells with modified DNA. Radiation therapy is just as important as chemotherapy in the fight against cancer. It works by delivering high-energy radiation to cancerous areas, effectively killing or damaging cancer cells while minimizing harm to surrounding healthy tissue. This targeted approach is key in improving the outcomes of cancer treatment and is often used in conjunction with other therapies like chemotherapy for a more comprehensive treatment plan. In this detailed session, Dr. Aditi Tanwar provides insights into the causes of cancer, how radiation therapy works, and its significant role in modern cancer treatment.
