Therapy Radiation Preoperative

Preoperative radiation therapy To denote a special independent type of **radiation therapy** (a method of radiation exposure to the human body, the purpose of which is to suppress pathological foci in tissues and organs that cause disruption of their function, and to destroy such foci), the term “T. l. preoperative."

Radiation treatment means the distribution of a certain amount of radiation energy - its dose per volume of the patient's body in such a way that its distribution corresponds to the distribution of tumor tissues. In addition, by influencing healthy tissues, a radiomodifying effect is carried out so that they are stimulated to fight the disease.

**The principle of action** of preoperative radiation therapy includes an effect on atypical cells, helping to quickly destroy cancer cells. But healthy cells can also be affected, so this procedure is characterized by radiation before surgery. In addition, T. l. is not prescribed for contraindications and is not limited by the duration of the course - this is as a rule

Preoperative radiation therapy is the use of preliminary radiation therapy before surgery to improve treatment outcomes for patients with certain diseases. In this article we will look at the basic principles, applications and benefits of this therapy.

Indications for the use of preoperative radiation therapy Preoperative radiation therapy may be indicated in the presence of the following conditions:

- breast and lung cancer: some studies suggest that radiation therapy may help reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and increase patients' chances of survival;

Some types of head and neck cancer: Radiation surgery can help reduce the risk of recurrence and improve patients' chances of survival. - mastopathy (fibrocystic): radiation prophylaxis helps slow down the development of cancer; - other diseases, including neurogenic tumors (gliomas) and intracranial conditions; Treatment of brain tumors may also require pre-surgical radiation therapy if radical surgery is not possible. Benefits of Preoperative Radiation Therapy One of the main benefits of preoperative radiation therapy is that it helps reduce the risk of tumor recurrence in some patients. This therapy makes it possible to enhance drug therapy and eliminate the use of surgical methods in cases where there is a sufficient progressive effect of radiation prophylaxis
