What is Radiation therapy?Radiation therapy is a form of cancer treatment that uses an intense form of energy, called ionizing radiation, to damage or destroy cancer cells. Ionizing radiation harms cancer cells' genetic material. This kills the cells or interferes with their ability to grow and ...
Its foundation lies in the field of radiation biology, while medical physics and dosimetry ensure technological aspects deemed as necessary for planning and executing the course of radiation therapy. Biological and technological investigations in radiation oncology are mostly done in an orderly fashion, ...
