A radiation oncologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the treatment of cancer using radiation therapy. They are trained to administer and oversee radiation treatments for cancer patients, developing individualized treatment plans based on the type and stage of cancer, the patient's overall health, and other factors. Radiation oncologists work closely with other members of the healthcare team, including medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiologists, and nurses, to provide comprehensive care.
