Radiation Oncologist

Radiation oncologists are medical doctors that manage the treatment of cancer patients receiving radiation therapy. Along with discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the procedure, they determine whether a patient is a good candidate for radiation therapy. Additionally, during therapy, radiation oncologists keep an eye on the patient's development and ensure that they are receiving the recommended radiation dosage. A radiation oncologist's recommendation may vary depending on the kind and stage of the malignancy.
