A branch of medicine called radiation oncology treats cancer and other illnesses with radiation therapy. With specific expertise, radiation oncologists treat both cancer and some non-cancerous illnesses. They might have a specialty in treating uncommon and complicated malignancies, among other cancer types. High radiation doses are used in radiation therapy, commonly known as radiotherapy, to destroy cancer cells and reduce tumor size. Protons, electron beams, gamma rays, and X-rays can all be used in radiation therapy.
Low radiation doses can also be used in radiation therapy to see inside the body with x-rays. The medical specialty of radiation oncology employs high-energy radiation to harm cancer cells' DNA and stop them from proliferating and dividing. The actual treatment that the radiation oncology team administers to the cancer patient is referred to as radiation therapy or radiotherapy. Radiation therapy: what is it? High-energy particles or waves, such as protons, electron beams, gamma rays, or x-rays, are used in radiation therapy to kill or harm cancer cells. Normally, your cells divide and expand to make new ones. However, compared to most normal cells, cancer cells proliferate and divide more quickly.
