Radiation Oncology

Radiation oncology is a cancer treatment involving the use of high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells. It is most commonly used to treat tumors that have not responded to surgery or chemotherapy. Radiation therapy can also be used to alleviate certain symptoms caused by a tumor, such as pain or bleeding. Radiotherapy is an effective, safe and non-invasive way to treat cancer and alleviate symptoms. It is commonly used to treat a wide range of malignancies, including breast, lung and prostate cancer. Radiation oncology is an important tool in cancer treatment, offering the potential to cure or improve a patient’s quality of life and reduce the risk of the cancer spreading.
