Radiotherapy is given in two ways, External and Internal. External Radiotherapy, which constitutes an important part of the treatment, is certainly not the outpatient radiation issue. Because the radiation applied to the patient in daily sessions does not stay in the patient's body. The effect of treatment is the interaction of the radiation with the cells in the treatment area during these sessions, and the radiation does not stay in the body when the session is over. This is true for some Nuclear Medicine applications, sometimes for false beliefs, but also for Radiotherapy, but this belief has nothing to do with reality. Except for the planned treatment area, the other areas of the patient itself are not affected by radiation. When the patient comes out of the radiotherapy room, there is no difference from other people. In the daily life of the patient there is no radiation risk for the family, with friends, with young children, or even with other people who are even together with a pregnant person. It is also absolutely unnecessary to separate the household utensils such as the plate, cutlery, spoon, towel.
Internal radiotherapy, which is another form of radiotherapy, is performed through radioactive wires placed in the tissue, such as applicators placed in the body cavities, such as in the cervical canal or Uterine cancers, or in breast cancer, soft tissue tumors. During these applications, the patient may temporarily emit radiation, but these applications are already carried out in the relevant Radiotherapy clinics, equipped Radiotherapy teams, in special protected rooms, and the radiation of the patient is not the case once the procedure is complete.
