Radiation Therapy

http://ncicb.nci.nih.gov/xml/owl/EVS/Thesaurus.owl#C15313

The use of high-energy radiation from x-rays, gamma rays, neutrons, protons, and other sources to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation may come from a machine outside the body (external-beam radiation therapy), or it may come from radioactive material placed in the body near cancer cells (internal radiation therapy). Systemic radiation therapy uses a radioactive substance, such as a radiolabeled monoclonal antibody, that travels in the blood to tissues throughout the body.

Treatment of a disease by means of exposure of the target or the whole body to radiation.
