Each session is generally quick, lasting about 15 minutes. Radiation does not hurt, sting, or burn when it enters the body. You will hear clicking or buzzing throughout the treatment and there may be a smell from the machine. Typically, people have treatment sessions 5 times per week, Monday through Friday.
However, there can be rare instances where long-term survival, or even cure, results from palliative radiotherapy, which mostly uses sub-therapeutic doses.
Certain factors are considered by your doctor before recommending radiation therapy. These include: Your age, health status, and previous medical conditions. For example, if you are pregnant, elderly and infirm, you may not be able to withstand the intensity and potential side effects of radiation therapy.
The most basic principle is to deliver maximum dose to tumor with minimum dose to surrounding normal structures thus achieving a higher cure rate with acceptable morbidity. Different doses are required for different malignancies and the setting at which delivered.
For 105 patients treated definitively with radiation therapy, the median and 5-year survival rate figures were 26.0 months and 40%. For 149 patients treated with adjuvant radiation therapy, the 5-year survival rate was 62% (median survival rate not docHubed).

Radiotherapy may be used in the early stages of cancer or after it has started to spread. It can be used to: try to cure the cancer completely (curative radiotherapy) make other treatments more effective for example, it can be combined with chemotherapy or used before surgery (neo-adjuvant radiotherapy)
However, as well as saving lives by treating tumours, stray radiation also has the ability to damage healthy tissue and it can cause side effects ranging from skin damage and fatigue to serious organ damage, depending on the part of the body that has been treated and the dose delivered to the healthy tissue.
In fact, based on the literature reviewed, it appears that external-beam radiation therapy is a superior treatment in some cases. When patients are treated with modern external-beam radiation therapy, the overall cure rate was 93.3% with a metastasis-free survival rate at 5 years of 96.9%.
