Radiation Therapy: About this Treatment
Conditions Treated with Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy is used to treat many conditions, including:
Acoustic neuroma
A non-cancerous tumor that may develop from an overproduction of Schwann cells that press on the hearing and balance nerves in the inner ear.
Arteriovenous malformations
An abnormal set of connections between arteries and veins usually occuring in the brain and spine, causing neurologic symptoms or bleeding.
Bone cancer
An abnormal growth of cells within a bone that may be cancerous or benign.
Brain tumor
An abnormal growth of tissue (tumor) in the brain that may be cancerous or non-cancerous.
Breast cancer
A disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the breast.
Cancer
The uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body.
Chondrosarcoma
A malignant type of bone cancer that primarily affects the cartilage cells of the femur (thighbone), arm, pelvis, knee, and spine. Although less frequent, other areas (such as the ribs) may be affected.
Chordoma
A rare type of slow-growing cancerous tumor that can occur anywhere along the spine, from the base of the skull to the tailbone.
Colon cancer (colorectal cancer)
A disease that is indicated by malignant cells in the colon or rectum.
Esophageal cancer
A disease in which cancerous cells form in the tissues of the esophagus.
Ewing's sarcoma
A type of cancer that occurs primarily in the bone or soft tissue, most often found in the extremities and can involve muscle and the soft tissues around the tumor site as well as spread to other areas of the body.
Head and neck cancers
Benign and malignant tumors that originate in the head and neck region, including sarcomas and nerve or lymph node conditions.
Leukemia
Cancer of the blood that develops in the bone marrow, which produces the three major blood cells: white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.
Liver cancer
A type of cancer that starts in the cells of the liver. Viral hepatitis and liver damage from alcohol or fatty liver are risk factors for liver cancer.
Lung cancer
Cancer that usually starts in the lining of lungs, but can also begin in other areas of the respiratory system.
Lymphoma
Cancer that starts in cells called lymphocytes, which are part of the body's immune system.
Metastatic brain cancer
An abnormal growth of tissue (tumor) in the brain that travels from another part of the body to the brain (metastasize).
Meningioma
A type of tumor that grows from the protective membranes, called meninges, which surround the brain and spinal cord, and is often benign and slow-growing.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
A type of cancer of the lymphatic system which can begin in almost any part of the body, causing cells to abnormally reproduce and tumors to eventually grow.
Osteosarcoma
A type of bone cancer, most often occuring in children, adolescents, and young adults, that develops in the osteoblast cells that form the outer covering of bone.
Pancreatic cancer
Cancers that begin in the pancreas.
Paranasal sinus cancer
A type of malignant cancer in the tissues of the paranasal sinuses or nasal cavity.
Prostate cancer
A type of cancer that occurs when cells grow abnormally in the prostate gland and form tumors.
Soft tissue sarcomas
A rare cancer in one of the soft tissues. There are many different kinds of soft tissue sarcoma. In general, soft tissue sarcomas are rare.
Spinal cord tumors, spine tumors
A tumor that forms on the spinal cord or in the area around it. Even if benign, the tumor may cause pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling from pushing on the spinal cord or nerves.
Trigeminal neuralgia
A nerve disorder that causes a stabbing or electric-shock-like pain in parts of the face.
