radiotherapeutic
Using healing radiation
Radiotherapeutic describes something relating to or used in radiotherapy—the treatment of disease, especially cancer, with radiation.
A radiotherapeutic dose is calibrated to target tumors while minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
The radiotherapeutic approach proved more effective than surgery for her condition.
