Radiation oncology is the medical specialty concerned with prescribing radiation, and is distinct from radiology, the use of radiation in medical imaging and diagnosis. Radiation may be prescribed by a radiation oncologist with intent to cure (curative) or for adjuvant therapy.
A common treatment for cancer, radiation oncology uses high-energy x-rays, gamma rays, electrons or radioactive materials to kill cancer cells, to stop or slow their growth and treat patients for pain or symptom relief (palliation). 1  Cancer Care Northwest provides the following radiation therapy techniques: 1  External Beam: A machine directs high-energy beams of radiation through the skin to the cancer. 2  High Dose Rate Brachytherapy: Radioactive sources are placed inside or near the tumor.
