Radiation oncologists are highly trained doctors who specialize in treating cancer through high-intensity photon beams or X-rays. These radiations kill cancer cells. Radiation oncologists coordinate with other doctors to design the complete treatment plan. Some of the conditions the radiation oncologist Babaiah M treats are:
Radiation therapy is effective in many types of cancer, such as lung, head & neck, prostate, breast cancer. High energy waves are incident on the cancerous cells. The radiation stops certain internal functions of the cells that are involved in the cell division. One problem with radiotherapy is that radiation may damage healthy cells as well.
Below are some symptoms of cancer which should be discussed an oncologist for proper diagnosis of the condition.:

Proton therapy is safer and more effective than radiation therapy because it delivers a high dose to a specific area. A radiologist uses a beam of protons to deliver a dose of radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer. It destroys cancer cells and causes less damage compared to traditional radiation. This procedure is also painless and noninvasive. CyberKnife is a non-invasive option for the treatment of both cancerous and non-cancerous tumours. The treatment delivers beams of high-energy radiation to the tumour with high accuracy and offers new hope to patients worldwide. It is used for the treatment of different types of cancer in the body, including the Liver, Pancreas, Kidney, Prostate, Lung, Brain, and Spine.

Radiation oncologists use the therapeutic properties of radiation to treat cancer. They understand cancer as a disease, its cause, and patterns of spread. Radiation oncologists also determine how radiation can fit in the general scheme of treatment. Radiation oncologists can use various methods for cancer treatment, including external beam radiotherapy, modality therapy, radioactive implantations, and hyperthermia. Planning plays a major role in cancer treatment. They keep an eye on the overall health of cancer patients and establish long-term relationships with patients post-treatment.
