Radiation therapy can be used at various times during your cancer treatment. • Before surgery, to help reduce the size of a cancerous tumor. • During surgery, to send a large dose of radiation directly at a tumor. • After surgery, to stop the growth of any cancer cells that might remain. • In combination with other cancer treatments to destroy cancer cells.
