Radiotherapy

See what happens during radiotherapy treatment. An expert describes what happens and advises what questions to ask if you're referred for radiotherapy.


Radiotherapy, also known as radiation treatment, is the controlled use of high energy X-rays to treat many different types of cancer. About  4 out of 10 people with cancer have radiotherapy.

In some cases, radiotherapy can also be used to treat benign (non-cancerous) tumors.

The length of each course of radiotherapy will depend on the size and type of cancer and where it is in the body.
