PALLIATIVE RADIOTHERAPY

Palliative radiotherapy is a type of radiation therapy that is used to relieve symptoms and improve the quality of life for patients with advanced cancer or other conditions that cannot be cured. It is not intended to cure the disease but rather to alleviate pain, control bleeding, shrink tumors that are causing obstruction or discomfort, and generally improve a patient’s well-being. Palliative radiotherapy can be used for various types of cancer to manage symptoms and enhance comfort when a cure is not possible. Dr.Aswin has treated many patients with palliative radiation, alleviated their symptoms and improved the quality of life for them.
