Is it possible to take care of cancer using just radiation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it is: Early cancers can be successfully treated with either Radiation or with Surgical excision. Often both forms of treatment are used in combination as they are complementary. Tell us the name of your cancer and its stage? That is what determines the choice of treatment and the outcome.
