What is Radiation Therapy?

Radiotherapy, also known as radiation therapy in Singapore, is an effective treatment for cancer patients. Here is what you need to know:

  • A radiation oncologist or cancer specialist utilises high energy X-rays or radioactive implants to kill cancer cells.
  • External-beam radiation therapy frequently utilises X-rays to treat cancers, but protons and other types of energy beams are also utilised.
  • An effective option across various stages of cancer treatment, radiotherapy is an essential treatment tool administered by radiation oncologists in Singapore.

As a cancer doctor in Singapore, Dr Johann Tang’s extensive experience in treating a wide variety of cancers reassures patients that they will receive the most appropriate and personalised treatment.
