The cancer few women know. Radiation What about radiation? How does that work? Radiation therapy uses very strong X-rays to kill the cancer cells. It can be used as a treatment alone or in combination with other treatments. There are two ways to deliver radiation treatment. First, X-ray beams can be aimed directly at the uterine cancer cells from an external machine. Second, you can have an applicator that gives off radiation placed directly into your uterus or vagina for several minutes, a number of hours, or even a few days. This releases constant amounts of radiation to kill the cancer cells over a specific period of time.
