What is Radiation Oncology?
Radiation oncology is a medical specialty that involves the use of high-energy radiation to treat cancer. The goal of radiation therapy is to target and destroy cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. It can be used as a primary treatment, as part of a combination therapy with surgery or chemotherapy, or as a palliative treatment to alleviate symptoms of cancer.
- External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT): This is the most common form of radiation therapy, where radiation is directed at the tumor from outside the body using a machine called a linear accelerator (LINAC).
- Internal Radiation Therapy (Brachytherapy): This involves placing a radioactive source directly inside or very close to the tumor.
Radiation oncologists work closely with other healthcare professionals, such as surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiologists, to develop personalized treatment plans for patients. They carefully plan and deliver radiation doses to ensure maximum effectiveness while minimizing potential side effects.
Radiation oncology uses high-energy radiation to target and kill cancer cells. The treatment process includes:
- Consultation & Evaluation: The radiation oncologist reviews the patient’s medical history and conducts imaging tests to locate the tumor.
- Simulation: The patient is positioned for precise radiation delivery with markings to ensure consistency.
- Treatment Planning: The radiation dose is calculated based on the tumor's size and location.
- Radiation Delivery: Treatment may involve external beam therapy (EBRT) or internal radiation (brachytherapy), typically over several weeks.
- Follow-up: Ongoing monitoring for side effects and tumor response.
Radiation therapy is often part of a broader cancer treatment plan, working alongside surgery, chemotherapy, and other therapies.
Radiation therapy may cause side effects, which vary depending on the area treated. Common side effects include:
- Fatigue: A feeling of tiredness or weakness.
- Skin Irritation: Redness, dryness, or peeling where the radiation is applied.
- Hair Loss: Hair may fall out in the treated area.
- Nausea and Vomiting: Typically occurs if the abdomen or brain is treated.
- Pain or Swelling: Discomfort in the treated area.
- Changes in Appetite: Reduced appetite, especially if the digestive system is treated.
- Mouth or Throat Issues: Soreness, difficulty swallowing, or dry mouth (if head or neck is treated).
- Urinary or Bowel Issues: Can occur with radiation to the pelvic area.
Side effects usually resolve after treatment ends.
Key Differences
- Medical Oncology involves the use of drugs to treat cancer, including chemotherapy and immunotherapy, which work throughout the body.
- Surgical Oncology primarily focuses on physically removing tumors or performing biopsies to diagnose cancer, often used when tumors are localized.
- Radiation Oncology uses radiation to target and kill cancer cells, shrinking tumors or preventing their growth, typically without the need for invasive surgery.

Radiation therapy works by damaging the DNA inside cancer cells, which inhibits their ability to grow and divide. Over time, this damage causes the cancer cells to die.
Radiation therapy can treat various cancers, including breast, prostate, lung, brain, and colorectal cancer, among others.
The procedure involves precise delivery of radiation to the tumor site, using external beam radiation or internal radiation (brachytherapy). Sessions are usually quick, lasting about 15-30 minutes, with treatment typically given five days a week for several weeks.
Each session usually lasts about 15-30 minutes. The treatment itself is quick, though the setup and positioning may take a bit longer.
Most radiation therapy is outpatient-based, meaning you can go home after each session. Hospital stays are rare unless you need additional treatments or experience complications.
Yes, radiation therapy is often combined with surgery, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy depending on the type and stage of cancer.
Radiation therapy can be very effective in shrinking or eliminating tumors, especially when used in combination with other treatments. Its success depends on the cancer type, size, and location.
No, radiation therapy is not painful. The process involves no physical discomfort during treatment, though side effects may cause some discomfort later.
