5.4 Bachelor / B.Sc. in Radiation Therapy Technology (BRTT)<br />

Radiation therapy is the medical use of ionizing radiation as part of cancer treatment to control<br />

neoplastic cells. Radiotherapy may be used for curative or adjuvant cancer treatment. It is used as<br />

palliative/therapeutic treatment. Radiotherapy has several applications in non-malignant conditions,<br />

such as the treatment of Trigeminal<br />

neuralgia, severe eye diseases, pterygium,<br />

pigmented villonodular synovitis,<br />

prevention of keloid scar growth, and<br />

prevention of heterotopic ossification,<br />

thyroid and other diseases. The use of<br />

radiotherapy in non-malignant conditions<br />

is limited partly due to risk of radiationinduced<br />

cancers.<br />
