Can you let me know how many times can a person with cancer have radium treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Almost no: One has radium sources for treatment due to safe storage issues. Radiation can be provided from other sources, machines or isotopic sources. Total dose can be divided into individual segments call fractions. Total dose and dose to healthy tissue constitutes limits, as well as time.
