Oncology Radiation

Oncology Radiation is a form of therapy used in cancer treatment that uses high doses of radiation to target cancerous tumors in the body. It is a specialized field of oncology that helps to control tumor growth and reduce the chances of cancer spreading to other parts of the body. By shrinking the tumor, Radiation Oncology can potentially be used to cure cancer or to control its growth. This can also help to reduce symptoms associated with the cancer such as pain, nausea, fatigue and swelling. In addition, Radiation Oncology may be used in conjunction with other forms of cancer therapy such as chemotherapy, surgery or immunotherapy to provide the most effective outcome for the patient.
