There are no surgery-related risks involved with this treatment option. Radiotherapy is also used in combination with surgery or chemotherapy. This therapy can have some adverse effects such as fatigue, reduction in WBCs and reduction in platelet count. Irritation or itching can also occur in the area exposed to radiation.
