Understanding radiation therapy is crucial, but have you ever wondered why this powerful treatment can also affect healthy cells alongside cancerous ones? This video delves into the complexities of radiation's impact, explaining the challenges of targeting cancer without harming surrounding healthy tissues.

In this video, we explore the intricate balance in radiation therapy:
► Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams to damage cancer cells' DNA, preventing them from growing and dividing.
► A primary challenge in radiation is ensuring the precise delivery of radiation to the tumor while minimizing exposure to healthy surrounding organs and tissues.
► Despite advanced targeting, some healthy cells invariably get exposed, leading to side effects as these cells attempt to repair the damage.
► Understanding why healthy tissues are affected helps patients and caregivers better manage and anticipate potential treatment side effects.
