Radiation Therapy

Radiation Oncology is a specialized branch of medicine that utilizes high-energy radiation to treat cancer and other diseases. It plays a crucial role in cancer care by precisely targeting tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

Radiation Oncologist

The healthcare providers for cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy are known as radiation oncologists. They evaluate a patient's suitability for radiation therapy and discuss the benefits and drawbacks of the treatment. Radiation oncologists also monitor the patient's progress during treatment and make sure they receive the appropriate dose of radiation. Different types of radiation therapy may be recommended by radiation oncologists based on the type and stage of the cancer.
