Consulting with cancer specialists for personalised treatment plans is essential for maximising the chances of successful treatment and improving quality of life.

Cancer is not a communicable disease or condition that spreads from person to person. There is no proof that cancer is a contagious illness that may spread from a cancer patient to a healthy individual through close contact or shared air. Cancer can occasionally spread from tissue to organs and then to the whole body.

Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation to target and destroy cancer cells. It damages the DNA of cancer cells, preventing them from dividing and causing them to die off over time. This treatment is typically administered over several weeks, either alone or in combination with other cancer therapies. By precisely targeting tumours, radiation therapy minimises damage to healthy tissue.

If you are experiencing persistent symptoms lasting more than a few weeks or months, or if your symptoms are becoming more intense despite regular medication, it's advisable to consult an oncologist.
