A member asked:
What would be the detailed medical use of radiation for treating cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Much to much: To answer. Most XRT delivered daily, by machine, some inserted into body cavities of spaces, and some radioactive material is injected iv. Better for you to ask about radiotherapy for a specific situation than a question requiring a textbook to answer.
