What do Radiation Oncology Physicians do?
Radiation oncology physicians specialize in using high-energy radiation to treat cancer and other diseases, overseeing treatment planning and delivery for patients.
They collaborate with medical physicists and dosimetrists to create customized plans, using imaging technologies such as CT and MRI to target tumors and protect healthy tissue precisely.
Their responsibilities include assessing patient condition, selecting the most appropriate radiation therapy technique, such as external beam radiation therapy or brachytherapy, and monitoring treatment progress and potential side effects.
What they do
Cancer Treatment: They specialize in using radiation to treat cancerous tumors, aiming to cure or control the disease.
Treatment Planning: Radiation oncologists are involved in the detailed planning of each patient’s treatment. This includes:
- CT Simulation: Performing a CT scan to map the tumor and surrounding organs precisely.
- Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT): Using imaging during treatment to ensure accurate delivery of radiation.
- Contouring: Delineating the precise areas to be treated (the tumor) and the organs at risk (OARs) to protect them.
Treatment Delivery: They oversee the different forms of radiation therapy, selecting the most appropriate method, such as external beams from a linear accelerator or placing radioactive sources internally (brachytherapy).
Collaboration: Radiation oncologists work as part of a multidisciplinary team, collaborating with other oncologists, surgeons, medical physicists, and dosimetrists to develop the best treatment approach for the patient.
Patient Care: They manage and monitor the patient’s response to treatment, explain potential side effects, and provide support to the patient and their family.
Types of Radiation Therapy
External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT): Radiation is delivered from a machine outside the body.
Brachytherapy: Radioactive sources are placed directly inside or near the tumor.
Radiopharmaceuticals: Using radioactive drugs.
