  • Introduction: Radiation therapy has been used in the treatment of cancer for many years. Radiation therapy is a branch of medicine that involves delivering high-energy rays directly to the tumor or target area to treat cancer
  • Methods: Radiation therapy is used in the treatment of many types of cancer, with the primary goal being the complete eradication of the tumor while preserving healthy surrounding tissues.
  • Results: The results of the investigation into the effect of radiation therapy on breast cancer presented in this article demonstrate a significantly positive impact on breast cancer treatment. However, It should be considered to enhance the utility of this therapeutic approach, the ability of the therapist to diagnose and determine the extent of errors that may occur during radiation therapy, control scattered radiation to areas outside the treatment field, and ensure uniform dose distribution within the target volume
  • Conclusion: Current study is aimed to specifically investigate the impact of radiation on the treatment of breast cancer among various treatment modalities used for cancer treatment. It is conducted using a descriptive-analytical method, relying on the review and analysis of findings from experimental studies in the field of radiation therapy.
