Abstract :
Abstract One of the most important nonsurgical ways to control cancer is radiotherapy (RT). In recent decades, RT has made strides in both the biological and methodological domains. There are certain unsavoury side effects of radiation therapy, despite the fact that it is a groundbreaking adjuvant non-invasive method. To overcome these negative aspects of RT, research is ongoing. This article focuses on the genetic and physiological dangers that radiation therapy poses to cancer patients. We showed the progression of RT in the most common malignancies using dosage distribution as a parameter. There is evidence that radiation-induced mutations occur in patients who undergo radiation therapy. The main downsides, such as radiation resistance developing in cancer cells and subsequent malignancies, have also been covered. Infertility and the regeneration of reproductive cells as a result of radiation exposure have also been addressed. Lastly, we covered the most recent cancer treatment strategy involving RT. Without radiotherapy, cancer treatment would not be possible. On the other hand, radiosensitizers and ayurvedic radioprotectors can help us prepare for RT.
