Radiation Oncology

Radiation Oncology focuses on the use of high-energy radiation to treat cancer, targeting and destroying cancer cells while preserving healthy tissues. It includes techniques like external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), and brachytherapy. Often combined with surgery, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy, radiation therapy plays a crucial role in cancer treatment, pain relief, and tumor control. Advances in image-guided radiation and proton therapy have improved precision, effectiveness, and patient outcomes.
