Whether radiotherapy can cure cancer depends on the specific situation. For some patients with very early malignant tumors of head, neck and chest, such as nasopharyngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, early lung cancer, etc., they can be cured by radiotherapy.
Radiotherapy is a means of cancer treatment, which plays an important role in the process of cancer treatment, can make the tumor shrink or slow down the growth of the tumor, and is mostly used in combination with chemotherapy and surgical treatment. The principle of cancer treatment is related to its tissue origin and the degree of cell differentiation.
Those with lymphohematopoietic tissue origin are sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and can be treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy-based integrated treatment. For well-differentiated tumors, radiotherapy is generally less sensitive, so surgery is the most common treatment. For poorly differentiated or undifferentiated tumors, radiotherapy is sensitive, so radiotherapy is mostly used.
For early-stage cancer, various methods can achieve good therapeutic effect, and early screening, early diagnosis and early treatment are recommended.
