What is Radiation Therapy?

Treating diseases utilizing machinery that focuses high-frequency, penetrating radiation beams on a patient is the main task of radiation therapists. Radiation therapy can be used as a lone treatment or in conjunction with surgery, chemotherapy or immunotherapy. One of the most common uses of radiation is for the treatment of malignant cancer. It is the responsibility of a radiation therapist to accurately provide and record radiation treatments as prescribed by a radiation oncologist. Therapists often have constant contact with the patients that they care for and as such must possess excellent interpersonal skills to effectively communicate impending procedures and possible side effects while also reassuring any concerns of the recipient. Radiation therapists can also refer patients to physicians, care takers or social service professionals if needed.
