Radiotherapy is a method in which cancer is treated by giving high-voltage rays directly to the cancerous tissue. The goal of this treatment is for the radiation to radiate with maximum force on the cancerous tissue and to radiate in a very small amount on the surrounding tissues so that it has no side effects on the surrounding healthy tissue. Today, radiotherapy is a common treatment in oncology. According to the American Society of Radiotherapy (ASTRO), two-thirds of cancers are treated by radiotherapy, either alone or in combination with surgery and chemotherapy. On the other hand, Iran has a strong medical infrastructure with the lowest prices. Therefore, we intend to discuss radiotherapy in Iran here.
In radiotherapy, different types of radiation are used safely and effectively to treat cancer. Radiotherapy destroys the genetic material inside cancer cells and thus prevents them from proliferating, and as a result these cells are doomed to die. At the same time, there is a risk to the body’s normal cells. Of course, first, normal cells grow less so they are less damaged, and secondly, they are much less damaged and repair themselves faster.
In terms of the price of health services, Healtha aims to offer the most competitive prices with other countries so that the price of Healtha services is much lower than the price of similar services around the world.

Our patients’ experience of Healtha treatment
Radiation therapy, or radiotherapy, is the use of various forms of radiation to safely and effectively treat cancer and other diseases. Radiation oncologists may use radiation to cure cancer, to control the growth of the cancer or to relieve symptoms, such as pain. Radiation therapy works by damaging cells. Normal cells are able to repair themselves, whereas cancer cells cannot. New techniques also allow doctors to better target the radiation to protect healthy cells.
Some patients are concerned about the safety of radiation therapy. Radiation has been used successfully to treat patients for more than 100 years. In that time, many advances have been made to ensure that radiation therapy is safe and effective.
Radiation therapy is usually well tolerated and many patients are able to continue their normal routines. However, some patients may eventually develop painful side effects. Be sure to talk to a member of your radiation oncology treatment team about any problems or discomfort you may have. Many of the side effects of radiation therapy are only in the area being treated.
Get plenty of rest.
Follow doctor’s orders.
Eat a balanced, nutritious diet.
Treat the skin that is exposed to radiation with extra care.
Seek out support.
Foods to avoid or reduce during radiation therapy include sodium (salt), added sugars, solid (saturated) fats, and an excess of alcohol. Some salt is needed in all diets. Your doctor or dietitian can recommend how much salt you should consume based on your medical history.

Radiotherapy is a very convenient and comfortable treatment method that can be used:
To prevent cancer (such as precancerous lesions in the breast) or treat cancer or prevent cancer relapse.
Radiotherapy can improve the patient’s quality of life by reducing pain in cases where the disease is not treatable, or by reducing the symptoms of the disease by reducing the tumor volume.
Some tumors can be reduced in size with preoperative radiotherapy so that the surgeon can remove them more easily.
Postoperative radiotherapy can destroy small cells that were not visible to the surgeon’s eye.
Radiotherapy can be used to reduce the pain of cancer.
In some patients, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are given at the same time. Under these conditions, cancer cells become more sensitive to radiation and are easily destroyed.

Radiotherapy damages the body’s normal cells and increases damage intensity slightly with each passing day. These side effects vary depending on the location, size, type of cancer, and medications the patient has to take during radiotherapy, depending on the radiotherapy device. There is no way to predict how much the patient will experience the side effects of radiotherapy. One person may have very minor side effects, and another person with similar treatment may have severe side effects during or after treatment.
Two common complications of radiotherapy; They are skin damage (dry skin, itching, flaking, skin sores, blisters) and fatigue. Radiotherapy to the head and neck or part of the gastrointestinal tract such as the stomach and intestines can lead to digestive problems such as a burning sensation in the mouth and throat, dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, a change in the taste of food, nausea and vomiting, and loss of appetite. However, even if these side effects occur, it is recommended to use high-calorie foods and protein.
