At Centro Oncológico Antioquia, radiation therapy is more than just a treatment—it’s precision and care in every detail.
High-energy particles or waves such as X-rays, gamma rays, electron beams, or proton beams are used to destroy or damage cancer cells.
Radiation therapy is used to treat many types of cancer, either alone or in combination with other treatments.
Here are some reasons why radiation therapy may be used:
• To cure or shrink early-stage cancer.
• To prevent cancer from returning (recurring) in another location.
• To relieve symptoms caused by advanced cancer.
For these reasons, radiation therapy is a key step in your treatment, and at COA, we are with you every step of the way.
