Radiotherapy For Cervical Cancer

Radiotherapy uses radiation to control the spread of malignant tumours. Radiotherapy can be carried out externally and internally. In external radiotherapy, radioactive beams are directed onto your body from a machine. The beams come from a number of different angles, and aim to cross each other at the location of the malignant cells, so that the surrounding tissues only come into contact with relatively weak beams. Radiotherapy will be carefully planned to make sure you receive the right dose at regular intervals. The treatment is usually given over a five-day week with a rest at weekends. When you are following a course of external radiotherapy you do not become radioactive, and it is perfectly safe for you to come into contact with other people.
