Radiation Oncology

Radiation Oncology:

Radiation has been an effective tool for treating cancer for more than 100 years. 60% of the patients diagnosed with cancer will receive radiation therapy as a part of their treatment. Radiation oncology is the specialty of medicine that uses radiation energy for treating usually malignant disease and occasionally benign disease. Radiation therapy works by damaging the DNA within the cancer cells and destroying their ability to reproduce.
