Radiation Oncology deals with all aspects of research that impact on the treatment of cancer using radiation. Radiation can be specified as a curative modality, either alone or in combination with surgery and/or chemotherapy. It may also be used palliative, to relieve symptoms in patients with incurable cancers.

Types of Radiation therapy:

• 3D conformal radiation therapy
• Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)
• Volumetric modulated radiation therapy (VMAT)
• Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT)
• Stereotactic radio surgery (SRS)
