Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy is a medical discipline and research field centered on the therapeutic application of ionizing radiation, predominantly for the treatment of malignant and certain benign diseases. It investigates the radiobiological principles, physical delivery techniques, and clinical protocols necessary to deliver precise radiation doses that maximize target cell damage while minimizing harm to surrounding healthy tissues.
