Non-cancer external radiotherapy

Non-cancer radiotherapy is most commonly used to treat inflammatory and degenerative diseases of the locomotor system. Stereotactic techniques are typically used for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and their use in treating functional diseases also appears to be promising. Apart from the Czech Republic, non-cancer radiotherapy is used widely in Germany where the numbers of patients receiving non-cancer radiotherapy exceed the numbers of cancer patients. When indicated with discretion, it is a highly effective and safe method which clearly meets the requirements for radiation protection.

Keywords: benign disease, non-cancer radiotherapy, x-rays.
