Скачать или смотреть Radiation Therapy vs Chemotherapy: Cancer Treatment Breakdown | Dr Praveen Kammar, Mumbai

When it comes to fighting cancer, two common treatment methods often discussed are chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Each works differently and serves a unique purpose in the journey to recovery. Here's a breakdown to help you understand:

✨ Radiotherapy (Radiation Therapy):

Focuses on a localized area of the body.
High-energy beams are targeted specifically at the cancerous region.
Ideal for treating a specific spot without affecting other parts of the body.
It is often used before or after surgery to target any remaining cancer cells in the local area.
💉 Chemotherapy:

A systemic treatment that travels throughout the body via the bloodstream.
Chemotherapy drugs are administered through injections or orally, reaching cancer cells across different areas.
Effective for cancers that have spread or have the potential to spread beyond a localized region.
🩺 Key Difference:

Radiotherapy = Localized treatment.
Chemotherapy = Systemic treatment.
Each of these treatments plays a vital role depending on the type and stage of cancer, and sometimes they are even used together. Always consult your oncologist to understand the best approach for your specific case! 💪
