There is no one answer. Successis determined by the radiosensitivity of the tumor, genetics, location and tumor type. I suggest looking up your specific tumor. You can also get help from the Woodruff Health Science Library and use the PubMed search engine. Good luck.
The success rate of radiation therapy varies depending on the type and stage of cancer but can be effective in controlling and eliminating tumors in many cases. To learn more, connect with me at drjeromepuryear.com. Thank you!
