Radiation Oncology is a specialized field of medicine that uses high-energy radiation to treat cancer. The goal is to target and destroy cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. This treatment can be used alone or in combination with other therapies, such as surgery or chemotherapy, to improve patient outcomes. Radiation oncologists are medical doctors who plan and oversee radiation treatments. They work closely with a team that may include radiation therapists, medical physicists, and nurses to ensure that patients receive the best care possible. Advances in technology have made radiation therapy more precise, leading to better results and fewer side effects.
