There are many advantages of using radiotherapy, the main advantage being that it can help control the growth of cancer cells. This limits the risk of the cancer spreading to other areas of the body. Another major advantage is that it can shrink cancer tumors into being small enough so that they can be removed surgically. By removing tumors surgically the doctors can determine whether or not the cancer will return. Another main advantage of using radiotherapy as a treatment for cancer is that the process is very safe for the patient compared to other treatment methods.
