External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT)
External beam radiation therapy (EBRT) is a type of cancer treatment that delivers radiation from outside of the body. The goal of EBRT is to destroy cancer cells and shrink tumors, although it may also be used to alleviate symptoms rather than cure cancer.
EBRT can be delivered through several different methods, which may be combined or used alone. The type and length of treatment vary based on the location of the cancer or tumor and its size. Techniques for EBRT include:
Typically, patients will undergo treatment for five days a week over the course of several weeks, and they should be able to go home the same day. Each session can take less than an hour, with most of the time spent determining proper positioning of the body. Actual delivery of the radiation may only take a few minutes, and patients will wear a lead shield to protect healthy body tissues while receiving their treatment.
EBRT is painless, but it does come with some side effects, such as fatigue. Over the course of the therapy, oncologists will monitor patients' conditions and adjust their dosage, number of sessions, and length of treatment based on their body's response to the radiation.
