Review on Medical Tourism in Nigeria - Primus

Many people are often terrified with the word radiation therapy. Numerous myths surround or are coined about radiation therapy. Once we start knowing about the Best Radiological Therapy in Nigeria, these myths will prove false. Therefore, we are required have a basic understanding of the therapy because it can save many lives.

Radiation therapy is nothing but a type of cancer treatment in which beams of intense energy are used to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy often gets its power from X-rays though the power can come from protons and other types of energy as well. During the therapy, high energy beams come from a machine outside of the body that aims the beams at a particular point in the body. Radiation therapy often damages cells by destroying the genetic material responsible for controlling how cells grow and divide. Since radiation therapy destroys both cancerous and healthy cells, it is maintained that the therapy destroys as few normal healthy cells as possible.

Over 50 percent of people with cancer receive radiation therapy as a treatment. Medical experts use therapy in order to treat about every type of cancer. It is also useful in treating some noncancerous tumors. A physician may recommend radiation therapy as an option at different levels during the cancer treatment and for many reasons, including:

As the only treatment for cancer
Before surgery, to shrink a cancerous tumor
In combination with other treatments, such as chemotherapy, to destroy cancer cells
In advanced cancers to alleviate symptoms caused by the cancer

Before sending you to undergo external beam therapy, the health care team will guide you through a planning process to make sure that the radiation reached the particular spot in the body where it is needed. After radiation simulation and some planning scans, radiation team decides on what kind of radiation you will get based on the type and stage of the cancer, general health and the goals for the treatment.
