Proton Beam Therapy is the latest form of radiation therapy. This uses a high-energy proton beam for cancer treatment. It is a kind of particle therapy that offers targeted treatment, unlike any other radiation treatment. Proton Beam Therapy is effective for the treatment of cancers like skull base tumors, pediatric cancers, brain tumors, and prostate cancers.. CyberKnifie is another powerful radiation therapy used for cancer treatment. It is a lightweight linear accelerator placed on a robotic arm. Real-time images allow patient movement tracking with high accuracy. The CyberKnife also uses real-time X-rays to find the exact position of the lesion during treatment.

FAQ's Related to Radiation Oncologist

What does a radiation oncologist do?

Radiation oncologists work with surgeons, medical oncologists, and other doctors to find out the most appropriate treatment for cancer. Before performing radiation therapy, radiation oncologists use certain software to map out the location where the radiation will be delivered to their patients. They also evaluate which type of radiation therapy to use. Radiation oncologists evaluate the nature of cancer and use a wide spectrum of treatment techniques, such as hyperthermia, external beam radiotherapy, and radioactive implantations. They monitor the overall health of cancer patients and suggest and establish long-term relationships with patients post-treatment.

What are the tests required before and during consultation by a radiation oncologist?

Below are some tests that a radiation oncologist may recommend for the diagnosis of cancer:

  • Cancer Screening
