Radiation therapy
medication Under reviewRadiation therapy is a medical cancer treatment that uses high-energy radiation to damage DNA in tumor cells, which stops them from dividing and leads to cell death. It is delivered in different forms, including external beam radiation and internal approaches, with the goal of treating cancer directly, preventing recurrence, or relieving symptoms. It is not a supplement and is not used for general wellness in healthy people. In clinical practice, radiation therapy is used to shrink tumors, kill remaining cancer cells after surgery, or reduce symptoms from advanced cancer. Its effects are local to the treated area, but surrounding normal tissues can also be affected, which is why long-term side effects are an important area of research.
Research summary
The scientific evidence for radiation therapy is extensive in oncology, but it is not studied as a health intervention in healthy human subjects. The available human research is focused on cancer treatment outcomes and late effects in cancer survivors rather than benefits for healthy adults. Because your request explicitly limits inclusion to healthy human studies, there are no qualifying human studies to summarize for this topic. The research consensus is that radiation therapy is a therapeutic medical procedure, not a supplement or preventive intervention, and it should be evaluated in the context of specific cancer indications rather than general health use.
