Radiation therapy or radiotherapy, usually abbreviated RT, RTx, or XRT, is therapy using radiation, generally as a part of cancer treatment to manage or kill malignant cells and normally delivered by a linear accelerator. Radiation therapy is also curative in a range of kinds of cancer if they're localized to one area of the body. It may even be used as a part of adjuvant therapy, to prevent tumour recurrence after surgery to remove a primary malignant tumor. Radiation therapy is synergistic with therapy, and has been used before, during, and once therapy in vulnerable cancers. The subspecialty of oncology concerned with radiotherapy is called radiation oncology. The traditional use of nanotechnology in cancer therapeutics has been to improve the pharmacokinetics and reduce the systemic toxicities of chemotherapies through the selective targeting and delivery of these anticancer drugs to tumor tissues. Nanoparticles have high surface area to volume ratio. This allows for several practical teams to be connected to a nanoparticle, which can seek out and bind to certain tumor cells. Additionally, the small size of nanoparticles, allows them to preferentially accumulate at tumor sites. Limitations to standard cancer therapy embrace drug resistance, lack of property, and lack of solubility
