How Long The Effect Of Radiation Therapy Will Stay After Completing Of The Course ?
If radiation therapy course (of 25 days, once in a day) is completed today then for how many days, the therapy works. I am asking this for a lymphoma patient who has localized lymph node at left axilla region.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
For a localized lymph node swelling the cure rates are very high. The efficacy of the radiotherapy depends on the type of cancer cells you are dealing with. In your case indiscriminate lymph node growth is not expected to recur after a complete treatment.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
