Radiation Oncology
If you have any type of cancer, you'll likely need radiation at some point. Here's what you need to know about this common treatment, and how Luminis Health can help you.What Is Radiation Oncology?Radiation is one of the most common and effective ways to battle cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, more than half of all cancer patients receive some form of radiation as part of their treatment.Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage cancer cells so they can't reproduce. Radiation can precisely target the area of the body that has cancer, usually without damaging other parts of the body. If the treatment injures normal cells, they typically recover.Our cancer specialists often combine radiation therapy with other treatments, such as chemotherapy or surgery.
