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.
