photon therapy

Photon therapy is a medical treatment that uses high-energy light particles called photons, typically produced by machines like linear accelerators, to target and destroy cancer cells. The photons deliver focused radiation precisely to the tumor, damaging the cancer’s DNA and preventing it from growing or spreading. This approach minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Photon therapy is commonly used because it can be finely tuned to treat tumors at different depths and locations, making it an effective and precise option in cancer treatment.
