3 Types of Cancer Radiation Therapy: Which Cures? Which Relieves Pain? Understand to Avoid Wasting Money
Early-stage, radiation-sensitive tumors: Curative radiation (goal: cure).
· Need to shrink tumors preoperatively or eliminate residuals postoperatively: Adjuvant radiation (goal: prevent recurrence).
· Advanced cancer with severe pain, bleeding, or compression: Palliative radiation (goal: reduce suffering).
Radiation therapy is personalized. Consult doctors/medical physicists for tailored plans to avoid detours.

Proton Therapy: A Mature and Safe Technology
Unlike traditional radiotherapy, which employs X-rays or gamma rays, proton beams exhibit a unique energy deposition pattern in matter. They deliver a lower dose as they enter the body and release most of their energy at a specific depth, known as the Bragg Peak. This Bragg Peak effect allows proton therapy to precisely concentrate a higher radiation dose on the tumor while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues, achieving targeted "precision bombing" to cancer cell
