Overview

Chemoradiotherapy is a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy used to treat cancer. Chemo drugs attack and destroy cancer cells, while radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to target and destroy cancer cells. Chemoradiotherapy is used to achieve a higher chance of cure than either treatment alone and can also shrink a tumor or reduce the size of cancer cells to improve symptoms. It is often used when a tumor is too large to be removed surgically or when cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Chemoradiotherapy can be used as a primary treatment or to help in the recovery after surgery. It is an important part of cancer treatment and can be effective in treating many types of cancer.
