what are the benefits of radiotherapy
Radiotherapy was invented by Wilhelm Rontgen, who invented the x-ray and Marie Curie who discovered radium, which is a material used in certain treatments and in this case, radiotherapy. (Radiotherapy is a mix of an x-ray that projects radium.)
Factors considered in the development of a comprehensive treatment planning approach in radiotherapy include the type and stage of cancer, the location and size of the tumor, the patient's overall health and medical history, potential side effects of treatment, and the goal of therapy (e.g., curative or palliative). Other factors may include the availability of advanced technology and the expertise of the medical team.

Drinking water before radiotherapy is important because it helps to hydrate the body and ensure that tissues are more elastic, which can improve the effectiveness of the treatment. Well-hydrated tissues can also better absorb radiation, potentially enhancing the treatment's precision and reducing side effects. Additionally, hydration may help in managing any discomfort or side effects experienced during the procedure.
