For Patients

If your cancer can be treated with radiation, you will be referred to a radiation oncologist - a doctor who specializes in treating patients with radiation therapy. Your radiation oncologist will work with your primary care doctor and other cancer specialists, such as surgeons and medical oncologists, to oversee your care. He or she will discuss the details of your cancer with you, the role of radiation therapy in your overall treatment plan and what to expect from your treatment.
