Radiation Oncology

Radiation Oncology is a specialized field of medicine focused on the use of radiation therapy in the treatment of cancer. Radiation therapy, also known as radiotherapy, involves the use of high-energy radiation beams to target and destroy cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. Radiation Oncology plays a crucial role in the multidisciplinary management of cancer, often used as a primary treatment modality or in combination with other treatments such as surgery and chemotherapy.

Under Radiation Oncology, deliver radiation to cancerous tumors, including:

1. External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT): This involves delivering radiation from a machine outside the body, targeting the tumor with precision while sparing nearby healthy tissues. Techniques such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) fall under EBRT.
2. Brachytherapy: Also known as internal radiation therapy, brachytherapy involves placing radioactive sources directly into or near the tumor. This allows for the delivery of a high dose of radiation to the tumor while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. Common types of brachytherapy include intracavitary, interstitial, and intraluminal brachytherapy.
3. Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT): These techniques deliver high doses of radiation to small tumors or specific areas of the body with extreme precision. Millimetre accuracy SRS is typically used for brain tumors and other intracranial lesions, while SBRT is used for tumors in the body outside the brain.
4. Palliative radiation therapy: Radiation Oncology also includes palliative radiation therapy, which aims to relieve symptoms and improve the quality of life for patients with advanced or metastatic cancer. This may involve targeting cancer-related pain, bone pains reducing tumor size to alleviate pressure on surrounding structures or controlling bleeding or other symptoms caused by the cancer.
