What is radiotherapy?
Radiotherapy is the therapeutic use of ionizing radiation, used almost exclusively for the treatment of malignant disease.
What is radiotherapy also called?
It is sometimes called radiation therapy, x-ray therapy radiation treatment, cobalt therapy, electron beam therapy, or irradiation

What is an alternative to hypophysectomy?
Radiotherapy is another possible treatment. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors.
Hours of irradiation?
Hours of irradiation refers to the duration of exposure to radiation or light energy. This measure is important in various fields, such as medicine for radiotherapy treatment, sterilization processes, or in research settings studying the effects of radiation on materials or living organisms. The specific number of hours of irradiation required depends on the intended purpose and the type of radiation being used.
What is cobalt therapy also called?
It is sometimes called radiation therapy, x-ray therapy radiation treatment, radiotherapy, electron beam therapy, or irradiation
