What is Radiation Therapy?
Radiation therapy involves the treatment of diseases with the use of penetrating, high-energy radiation beams. One of the most widely known uses of radiation therapy is for the treatment of cancer. Radiation treatment of cancer can be used alone or combined with other methods such as chemotherapy. During treatment, radiation therapists must accurately record and administer prescribed treatment by a radiation oncologist. Radiation therapists are in immediate contact with patients throughout the duration of their treatment and must possess good interpersonal skills to be able to effectively describe procedures and possible side effects. Therapists are also responsible for referring patients to physicians, care takers or social service professionals when necessary.
