What is External radiotherapy?
Bestraling is de behandeling van kanker met straling. Het doel is kankercellen te vernietigen en tegelijk gezonde cellen zoveel mogelijk te sparen. Bestraling is een plaatselijke behandeling: het deel van het lichaam waar de tumor zit of eerst zat wordt bestraald.
Radiotherapie als genezende behandeling External radiotherapy (ook wel uitwendige bestraling genoemd) bij prostaatkanker heeft vaak genezing als doel. De behandeling duurt een paar weken. Soms is de bestraling in combinatie met hormonale therapie. Per week krijgt u vier tot vijf keer bestraling. Dit duurt ongeveer vijf minuten per keer. Een opname in het ziekenhuis is niet nodig.
Radiotherapie bij uitzaaiingen External radiotherapy kan ook helpen bij uitzaaiingen in de botten. Bestraling van de uitzaaiing kan de pijn verminderen. De bestraling is dan meestal maar één keer.
