Megavoltage radiation therapy (MVRT) is a treatment method that uses high-energy ionizing radiation to destroy cancer cells and other malignancies. The radiation energy can reach 1 MV (megavolt), which is a high enough level that can damage healthy cells and tissue, so this treatment is used only in extreme cases when other treatments are ineffective or cannot be used.
Megavoltage radiation therapy is used to treat various types of cancer, such as breast, lung, prostate, thyroid, etc. It can be used alone or in combination with other treatment methods.
One of the main advantages of megavoltage radiation therapy is its high efficiency in destroying malignant cells. However, like any other treatment method, it has its drawbacks, such as a high dose of radiation, which can damage healthy tissue, as well as the possibility of side effects such as nausea, vomiting, hair loss, etc.
Thus, megavoltage radiation therapy is an effective method of treating cancer, but it has its limitations and risks that must be taken into account when choosing treatment.
Megavoltage Radiation Therapy: Quantum therapy using ionizing radiation with energies as low as 1 meV.
Megvolt radiation therapy is one of the treatment methods based on the use of ionizing radiation. In this case, the radiation has an energy of 1 megaelectronvolt (MeV) and higher, which allows this technology to be successfully used to treat various diseases.
What is the principle of megavoltage radiation therapy? This method is based on the effect of irradiation on tissue cells, acting directly on DNA molecules and other cellular elements. In this case, DNA molecules can be damaged, which leads to the death of infected cells.
When conducting radiation therapy, it is important to consider the radiation dosage, exposure time, and selection of adequate targets (cells exposed to radiation). Only a correctly selected and dosed method can lead to recovery without any side effects.
This therapy can be used to treat many diseases, including tumors, autoimmune diseases, vascular disorders, and diseases of the central nervous system and skin. It can also be successfully used in the treatment of complications after operations or illnesses, to accelerate the regeneration of damaged tissues.
Despite all the advantages, melavoltage radiation therapy also has disadvantages. For example, some diseases may require a long treatment time and often cause some side effects, such as weakness and nausea. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the possibility of radiation damage to healthy cells and tissues when they are located in the irradiation zone.
However, when used correctly, this therapy can be highly effective and allow you to cope with various diseases safely and effectively.
