How Radiotherapy Works!

Very useful 👌

Excellent explanation!

I'm in my 5th week of treatment.. I'm getting both Radiation Therapy and Chemo..

My phisics Teacher is sick so imma teach myself

Radiation therapy causes cancer.

Thank you very much 🙂

❤

This really helped. I'm currently receiving radiation (3rd week) for prostate cancer. I now have a better understanding of how & why the radiation works.

True Beam!

Thanks.. ❤

I've been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor (fortunately benign). Thank you.

Pitiful video with a horrible format! Just awful! Best of luck!

do you have CANCER cell that is not dividing

Thank you so much for that explanation it was excellent

Thank you 🙏🏽

Very nicely explained

I am here to after learning about the photoelectric effect in chemistry.

Thanks for the sweet information

that was awesome!

Learning as a patient with a interest in the mechanics of my latest treatment exerience/s.. Brief, informative and easy to understand for me. Thanks

I am in my sixth week of this treatment. This video has helped me to understand how it works and I thank you for it.

Thank you. A very informative video for students and patients.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good information but the hand is very very distracting

somehow the science behind radiotherapy sounds more logical then chemotherapy it’s hard to doubt weather it kills the cancer or not in radiotherapy case but what about the other tissues it pass thru?

I want to study this course but I’m scared I won’t be able to cope with the physics demand x

Excellent

Excellent help to understand the treatments thank you!

👌👍

I liked it

It makes sense, the way she explains it. However, the question I can't help asking myself is, how in the whole world did they discover all this???

Great thank you. Please more videos in radiotherapy

Why Radiotherapy & Chemotherapy not effective for every type of Tumor ???

Excellent video...

In the video (2.14) it says Linacs produce photons which are ‘released and targeted to the patient’. I thought it was xrays that were released. Aren’t photons light particles? Can anyone clarify please?

As a radio technologist, I want to say this video is very well done and its level of information is extremely accute.

My job means I work under the radiotherapist, who decides the dose for the patient and is responsible for that part of the treatment.
They give us techies the assignment to make the relevent scans and prep the patient for treatment. Part of that is using a CT scan to plan the treatment: complex software simulate the treatment and finds the optimal angles and dose, and field shapes, depending on my input. While its easy to make a plan that doesnt go over dangerous limits for the patient - it is our challenge to reduce dose to the healthy tissue, and still get the biggest possible hit on the tumor.
Finally when all prep is done, the patient comes for the daily treatments (fractions) - and we position the patient as accurately to have the same posture as they had during the scans (because that posture was the basis of our plan, and the plan is only valid in that posture).

So, for the underlying mechanism, it was a very good explanation.

This is a great video, thanks for creating it! I would just suggest if you make any more videos to invest in a quality microphone to get a bit better sound quality. The sound is lacking mid & low frequencies.

I am a Radiotherapy Technician.I want vith work.I love Radioterapy😊

Thank you so much it helpme a lot😘🤗🤗🤭

I've had loads of explanations on how this machine works. This video has now made me understand how truly dangerous radiation really is. Pulling DNA apart for a cure while the body goes more toxic for more tumors. Kaching $$$ £££

Canadian Medical Student Intern (Y3) just starting surgical and perioperative rotation. My pre-clinical knowledge of oncology is not that great and this video was awesome! Relevant, easy to understand (what fabulous and clearly addressed objectives!), and bite-sized. What more could I ask for? Thank you for making this video.

Thanks for the vid, very clear explanation, well done

Thank you very much for such a great explanation.

niga why don't u use super gamma rays

We are happy this video is helpful. Best to you in your journey.

Fabulous explanation of this disease which my amazing wife has,now thanks to you I understand a lot better,she is due to start her radiotherapy session tomorrow,so begins the journey to her recovery,thank you from my heart,I am grateful I found you,much love and blessings

first
also really nice drawing
