The National Cancer Institute explains how radiation therapy uses high doses of radiation to treat cancer and may be used alone or alongside surgery, chemotherapy, or other treatments.
Patients can also review the NCI overview of cancer treatment to understand how different treatment approaches may be combined according to cancer type and stage.
Radiation Oncology and Patient Care Approach
Radiation oncology involves planning and delivering radiation to a defined treatment area. Before treatment begins, imaging and treatment-planning systems are used to determine the tumour location, radiation dose, and nearby organs that need protection.
Dr. Shah’s practice includes IMRT, VMAT, IGRT, Tomotherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, and stereotactic body radiation therapy. These techniques differ in how radiation is shaped and delivered, and the appropriate method depends on tumour type, location, size, previous treatment, and overall treatment goals.
His neuro-oncology experience is particularly relevant to selected brain and nervous-system tumours where highly focused radiation techniques may be considered.
Radiation treatment is commonly planned within a multidisciplinary cancer team that may include medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and supportive-care specialists.
