How many treatment sessions are appropriate for each patient?
The number of treatment sessions and the dose for each patient depends on the type, size, shape, and location of the tumor/cancerous tissue. But in general, an average of 25-30 sessions of radiation therapy is considered for each patient.
How long does each treatment session last?
In each session, the total time of radiation that the patient is exposed is about 2-3 minutes, which will be determined according to the treatment plan.
