Radiation Oncologist

A radiation oncologist is a medical doctor who specializes in treating cancer and other diseases with radiation therapy. They develop personalized treatment plans to target cancer cells precisely, using high-energy rays to destroy or shrink tumors while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. Their role includes planning treatment, delivering radiation, monitoring patient progress, and managing side effects. Working closely with a team of healthcare professionals, radiation oncologists play a vital role in cancer care, aiming to improve outcomes and quality of life for their patients.
