Relief without an injection or incision
Low-dose radiation therapy (LDRT) uses a much lower radiation dose than cancer treatment to reduce inflammation in selected benign conditions. Treatment is painless and noninvasive. A typical course may include six short visits over two to three weeks.
Conditions that may be evaluated
- Osteoarthritis affecting the hands, wrists, knees, hips, feet, or ankles
- Selected tendon and soft-tissue conditions
- Dupuytren disease and other qualifying benign conditions
Eligibility, expected benefit, and potential risks depend on the condition, prior treatment, age, and individual health history. A radiation oncologist will review whether LDRT is appropriate for you.
