According to the 47 page report, Radiation Therapy refers to the medical use of ionizing radiation as a part of cancer treatment to control malignant cells by destroying their DNA. Various types of radiations are generally used for the treatment. Some of the major ones include: high energy photons, electron beams, proton beams and neutron beams. In the treatment, radiation can either come from a machine outside the body, called external beam radiation therapy or from radioactive material placed inside the body, which in this case is called internal radiation therapy or brachytherapy. Some of the major types of external radiation therapy treatments include: 3D-CRT, IMRT, IGRT, Tomotherapy, Stereotactic radiosurgery, SBRT and Proton Therapy.
