Treatments for cancer may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and supportive interventions such as palliative care, allied health and psycho-oncology.
Radiation therapy is the medical use of ionising radiation as part of cancer treatment of tumours and divides into two main types:
• external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) - delivered by linear accelerators; and
Superficial radiation therapy and orthovoltage radiation therapy refer to low energy, low penetration treatments for skin lesions and tumours just under the skin.
Radiation therapy may be used for definitive or curative cancer treatment and is also used as a palliative treatment with the aim of local disease control or symptom relief.
