The success rate of radiation therapy varies significantly depending on factors such as the type and stage of cancer, the location of the tumor, and the overall health of the patient. Generally, radiation therapy can lead to significant tumor shrinkage or elimination in many cases, often used in conjunction with other treatments like surgery or chemotherapy. Success rates may range from 50% to over 90% for certain cancers, but it is essential to discuss individual prognosis with a healthcare provider for a more accurate assessment.
