Radiation Oncology is the branch of cancer therapy which makes use of a high-energy radiation beam to target and destroy the cancer cells and stop their replication inside the body. Radiation therapy can be used alone or as an adjunct therapy along with surgery and chemotherapy for the management of cancer. About 22.5 lakhs people are currently living with cancer in India and about 7.5 lakhs die every year owing to it. Early detection and treatment are the keys to cancer survival. The goal of cancer treatment is to destroy the cancer cell, thus allowing the body to function normally.
