2 Dimensional Palliative Radio Therapy
2 Dimensional Palliative Radio Therapy in Yeshwanthpur
In 2 Dimensional Palliative Radio Therapy, the doctors use targeted radiation on a specific area. Its purpose is to make a tumour smaller, slow down its growth, or ease symptoms like pain and bleeding. This treatment method helps subside the side effects of cancer and makes the patient feel better. However, it's not a permanent cure. Instead, its main goal is to improve the patient's comfort and relieve their symptoms.
This type of palliative radiotherapy proves effective in addressing symptoms caused by a local tumour, regardless of its location in your body. Before initiating treatment, you undergo a planning session in which X-ray scans of the targeted area are taken. This session serves the purpose of enabling the radiation oncologist and the medical team to craft a treatment plan based on 2D images. To ensure precision in treatment delivery, small tattoo marks are strategically placed on your skin above the treatment area, aiding the medical staff in maintaining accuracy throughout the treatment process.
In cases where palliative treatment encompasses the head or neck region, a specialized plastic mask or 'shell' is custom-made during the planning phase. This mask helps keep your head still and in the same position during each treatment, ensuring that careful planning and a personalized approach contribute to the accuracy and effectiveness of your palliative radiotherapy. Visit the best cancer care hospital to get the finest treatment with the help of a team of cancer care specialists in Yeshwanthpur.
