Radiology & Imaging in Cancer

Radiation Therapy, often known as radiotherapy, is used to treat cancer by regulating or killing cancerous cells. If radiation therapy is limited to one area of the body, it may be beneficial in different types of cancer. Radiation Therapy works in tandem with chemotherapy and has been used before, during, and after chemotherapy in patients with susceptible tumours. Radiation Oncology is an Oncology specialisation that focuses on radiotherapy.

Cancer Imaging is a broad term that encompasses a variety of technologies used in cancer diagnosis and research. It was initially intended to analyse and organise the illness, but it is now also used to assist with a medical treatment and Radiotherapy, to distinguish patients who are responsive to therapy, and to look for early reactions.
