Radical treatment is where the aim is to obtain a cure by giving a high dose of radiation over several weeks. Palliative treatment is where a cure is not possible but the aim is to; reduce the size of the cancer; relieve pain or other symptoms. The dose of radiation given is usually smaller and given over a shorter time frame.
