Answer: Its a radiotherapy treatment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Radiotherapy is a treatment in which ionizing radiation is used to destroy a tumor or prevent its cells from enlarging. These radiations are not seen and during application the patient feels nothing. Radiotherapy may be used in combination with chemotherapy or other treatments.
