Radiation Therapy
Florida Cancer Affiliates offers advanced radiation therapy technologies. These powerful, targeted, cancer-fighting treatments:
- Provide customized treatment for precise radiation doses
- Lessen harm to surrounding tissue and normal cells
- Reduce treatment times and discomfort
- Minimize side effects
- Increase treatment effectiveness
Radiation therapy may be delivered both externally and internally. Internal radiation, or brachytherapy, places a small amount of radioactive material (seeds) in or near the cancer. External radiation delivers high-energy rays directly at the cancer from a machine outside the body.
