Radiation oncology – also known as radiotherapy – treats tumours in a targeted manner using ionising radiation. The aim is to destroy tumour cells whilst sparing the surrounding healthy tissue as much as possible. As one of the cornerstones of modern cancer treatment, it is often combined with surgery or drug therapy.
