What is another word for Radiotherapies?
Pronunciation: [ɹˌe͡ɪdɪə͡ʊθˈɛɹəpɪz] (IPA) 
Radiotherapies refer to the different types of treatments that use high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells. There are several synonyms to describe radiotherapies such as radiation therapy, radiotherapy, radiation oncology, and irradiation. These terms basically have the same meaning and are used to describe the treatment that emits ionizing radiation to kill cancer cells or prevent them from growing. Other synonyms for radiotherapy include brachytherapy, proton therapy, and stereotactic radiosurgery. Brachytherapy is a type of radiotherapy that places radioactive sources inside the body near the cancer cells. Proton therapy uses protons rather than X-rays or gamma rays, whereas stereotactic radiosurgery delivers high-energy radiation in a single dose to treat small tumors in the brain or spine.
