 Radiation Oncology- 

Radiation oncology is a branch of medicine that uses high-energy rays to fight cancer. It is one of the main ways to treat cancer, and radiation oncologists oversee designing and delivering the radiation therapy. Radiation oncologists collaborate with other health experts, such as radiation therapists and medical physicists, to figure out the best type and amount of radiation therapy for each patient.

The aim of radiation therapy is to kill cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue as much as possible. Radiation therapy does this by harming the DNA inside cancer cells, stopping them from multiplying and growing. Eventually, the harmed cancer cells die, and the body gets rid of them.

Radiation therapy can be used by itself or with other treatments, such as chemotherapy or surgery. The exact treatment plan depends on the kind and stage of cancer, as well as other things like the patient’s overall health.
