Low-dose radiotherapy for functional and benign conditions

While radiotherapy is best known for treating cancer, it can also play a supportive role in managing certain non-cancer conditions.

Icon Cancer Centre offers low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT) for osteoarthritis and other benign inflammatory conditions, including plantar fasciitis and tendinopathies. This gentle, evidence-based approach may help reduce pain, support better joint function, and enhance quality of life when standard therapies are no longer effective.

What is LDRT?

LDRT is a non-invasive treatment that uses tiny, carefully controlled doses of radiation to help reduce pain, improve joint function, and potentially slow down joint damage over time. Unlike the higher doses used in cancer therapy, LDRT delivers a much smaller, precisely targeted dose. Supported by international clinical evidence, LDRT is emerging as a safe and effective option for managing degenerative or inflammatory conditions.

Conditions we treat:

LDRT is available for the following benign conditions:

• Osteoarthritis

• Keloid scars

• Bursitis

• Tendinopathies

• Dupuytren’s disease

• Plantar fasciitis
