What is the goal of radiation therapy in treating liver cancer?
The goal of radiation therapy in treating liver cancer is to use targeted doses of radiation to destroy or damage cancer cells, ultimately shrinking or controlling the growth of tumours. Radiation therapy is a localized treatment, meaning it specifically targets the area where cancer is present. It can be used in different ways for liver cancer: Curative Intent (Radical Radiation Therapy): In some cases, radiation therapy is used with curative intent, aiming to eliminate the cancer. This is more likely in cases where the tumor is confined to the liver and surgery is not a feasible option. Palliative Care: In cases where a cure may not be achievable, radiation therapy can be used to relieve symptoms and improve the quality of life. This is known as palliative radiation therapy. It can help alleviate pain, reduce the size of tumors, and manage other symptoms associated with liver cancer. Before or After Surgery: Radiation therapy may be used before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) to shrink tumors and make them easier to remove, or after surgery (adjuvant therapy) to kill any remaining cancer cells. Combination with Other Treatments: Radiation therapy is often used in combination with other treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, or targeted therapies to enhance the overall effectiveness of the treatment plan. Liver cancer can be primary (originating in the liver) or secondary (resulting from the spread of cancer from other organs). The decision to use radiation therapy depends on various factors, including the type and stage of liver cancer, the location and size of tumors, the patient's overall health, and the goal of treatment (curative or palliative).
