Oncology and Radiology

Radiation Oncology Nursing

Radiation oncology is a medical specialty that involves treating cancer with radiation. Doctors who specialize in treating cancer with radiation (radiation oncologists) use radiation therapy to treat a wide variety of cancers. Radiation therapy uses carefully targeted and regulated doses of high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells. Radiation causes some cancer cells like in case of head and neck cancer or breast cancer , the individual dies  immediately after treatment, but most die because the radiation damages the chromosomes and DNA so that the cells can no longer divide and the tumour can't grow.
