Radiation oncology, also known as
radiation therapy, is the medical use of ionizing radiation as a part of cancer
treatment to control or kill malignant cells. It is sometimes abbreviated to
XRT or DXT. Radiation therapy is useful in treating cancer localized in one
area of the body and also in preventing resurgence of tumor after the removal
of primary malignant cells. The precise treatment (curative, adjuvant,
neoadjuvant) is based on a number of factors such as the patient’s health, the
type of tumor, location of the tumor, and the stage of the tumor. Radiation
oncology also has several applications in non-malignant conditions like thyroid
eye disease, pigmented villonodular synovitis, vascular restenosis, and
heterotopic ossification. The market of radiation oncology has been driven by
increasing prevalence of cancer, fast evolving technology, and more number of
students opting to be radiation oncologists, leading to an increase in the options
available in the market.

can be divided on the basis of various radiation therapies as under:-
External beam radiation therapy -
Includes conventional external beam radiation therapy, stereotactic radiation,
intensity - modulated radiation therapy, and 3-dimensional conformal radiation
therapy
Brachytherapy - Commonly used as an
effective treatment of breast, prostatic, cervical, and skin cancer. In this
therapy, radiation sources are placed directly at the site of the cancer tumor
Radioisotope therapy - Vastly used
in treatment of bone metastasis from cancer. The radioisotopes selectively
travel to the areas of damaged bones and spare undamaged bones
