Radiation oncologists are medical doctors who specialise in treating cancer using radiation therapy. They plan and oversee radiation treatments, ensuring that cancer cells are targeted while minimising damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
Radiation oncologists treat a wide range of cancers, including but not limited to:
Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays (such as X-rays, proton beams, or electrons) to destroy or damage cancer cells. It works by damaging the DNA of cancer cells, preventing them from growing or dividing.
Radiation therapy itself is painless, much like getting an X-ray. However, some side effects (like skin irritation or fatigue) may develop depending on the treated area.
Treatment duration varies based on the type and stage of cancer. It can range from a single session (in stereotactic radiotherapy) to daily treatments over several weeks.
