Radiation oncology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on using high-energy radiation to treat cancer and other diseases. Radiation therapy works by damaging the DNA inside cancer cells, which prevents them from growing and multiplying.
Radiation oncologists are highly trained physicians who work closely with other specialists to determine the most effective treatment plan for each patient. They consider various factors such as the type and location of the cancer, the patient's overall health, and the goal of treatment (whether it's to cure the cancer, control its growth, or relieve symptoms).
The field of radiation oncology continues to evolve with advancements in technology and treatment techniques, allowing for more precise and effective delivery of radiation while reducing side effects. If you have further questions or if you or a loved one is considering radiation therapy, we’d be happy to provide more information or connect you with one of our skilled radiation oncology.
