In the treatment of many cancers, surgical removal is the main treatment. After surgical removal, radiation therapy is often used to ensure that no residual tumor is remaining. The scientists from the University of North Texas have developed “radioactive bandage” for radiation therapy. The results from their study presented in the Annual conference of American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists on 29 October 2015 are stunning. In the skin cancer treatment, radiation therapy plays a vital role.
Radiation therapy utilizes high-energy rays to kill tumor cells. The skin cancer treatment predominantly uses electron beam radiation. Especially if the tumor size is too big to be operated, radiation therapy is considered as a primary mode of treatment. The radiation treatment is targeted and precise. The equipment required for radiation therapy are bulky and require specialized facilities…
