How does radiation therapy work to get rid of Mesothelioma Cancer?
Radiation doesn’t get rid of mesothelioma cancer. The only cause I know is asbestos inhalation and once it’s embedded in your lung tissue,it’s there to stay.
When patients undergo radiation therapy,they receive several successively higher doses of radiation,which shrink the tumor to a manageable size. Radiation relieves a great deal of pain,and victims of Pleural Mesothelioma suffer reduced instances of shortness of breath. Unfortunately,radiation cannot kill all of the cancerous cells without causing significant damage to the patient.
