Explanation of Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy utilizes ionizing beams of radiation as a form of treatment prescribed by an oncologist. Typically, this type of treatment is implemented as a means of localizing malignant cells associated with cancer. The machinery that is used to provide this type of treatment is called a linear accelerator. Therapists that operate this machinery must possess a high level of skill and expertise to provide the correct dosage in the exact area needed in order to ensure a patient’s safety throughout treatment. When the linear accelerator focuses these beams of radiation on cancerous cells throughout the body, the DNA in those cells becomes damaged causing them to shrink or, in some cases, disappear completely. In addition to properly operating highly technical equipment and inducing treatment protocol prescribed by an oncologist, radiation therapists must excel in intrapersonal communication in order to inform patients of impending procedures as well provide emotional support. At Cambridge Health, our radiation therapist degree program provides students with all of these integral pieces of knowledge to ensure confidence and success upon graduation.
