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.
