Frequently Asked Questions

Radiation oncology is a medical specialty that focuses on the use of radiation therapy to treat cancer. Radiation oncologists specialize in delivering high-energy radiation to cancerous tumors to destroy cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues.

A radiation oncologist evaluates cancer patients, determines the appropriate radiation therapy treatment plan based on the type, location, and stage of cancer, delivers radiation treatments, monitors patient progress, and manages side effects.

Radiation therapy can be used to treat various types of cancer, including but not limited to breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, head and neck cancers, brain tumors, cervical cancer, rectal cancer, and skin cancer.

Radiation therapy works by damaging the DNA of cancer cells, which prevents them from growing and dividing. Different types of radiation therapy, such as external beam radiation and brachytherapy, deliver radiation either externally or internally to target the tumor while sparing nearby healthy tissues as much as possible.

The process typically involves several steps, including simulation, treatment planning, and radiation delivery. During simulation, patients undergo imaging scans to precisely localize the tumor and determine the treatment fields. Treatment planning involves creating a customized radiation treatment plan tailored to the patient's anatomy and tumor characteristics. Radiation therapy sessions are scheduled, during which patients receive radiation treatment according to the prescribed plan.

Side effects of radiation therapy can vary depending on the area being treated, the dose of radiation, and individual patient factors. Common side effects may include fatigue, skin changes (redness, irritation), hair loss, nausea, diarrhea, and temporary worsening of symptoms related to the tumor. Side effects are typically temporary and resolve after treatment ends.

Radiation oncologists and healthcare providers offer supportive care to manage side effects. This may include medications to alleviate symptoms, skincare recommendations, dietary modifications, physical therapy, and counseling to address emotional and psychological effects.
