External-Beam Radiation Therapy

ACFRO can also provide traditional radiation therapy to bone cancer patients. Like a regular x-ray, radiation beams are focused on the affected area from outside the body. It can be used alone, but for bone cancer, it is typically used in combination with other cancer therapies. External-beam radiation therapy has proven to be very successful in palliative care for cancer of the bone.
