<unk>  effects are utilised in the treatment of cancer with radiation therapy. When the total<unk>  of radiation is divided into several, smaller<unk> s over a period of several days, there are fewer toxic effects on healthy cells. This maximizes the effect of radiation on cancer and minimizes the negative side effects. A typical<unk>  scheme divides the<unk>  into 30 units delivered every weekday over six weeks. Hypofractionation is a treatment regimen that delivers higher<unk> s of radiation in fewer visits, which tends to lower the effects of accelerated tumor growth that typically occurs during the later stages of radiotherapy. Hyperfractionation is dividing the same total<unk>  into more deliveries, so that treatments are given more than once a day. Hyperfractionated radiation therapy is given over the same period of time (days or weeks) as standard radiation therapy. Accelerated<unk>  (two deliveries per day and/or deliveries on weekends as well) has also been investigated.
