Can music therapy improve the pain felt during the radiotherapy experience and overall satisfaction? Researchers will compare patients receiving standard radiotherapy (control group) with patients receiving music therapy alongside their radiotherapy (experimental group).\n\nParticipants (72 total) will:\n\nBe 18 years and older and newly starting curative radiotherapy.
