A radiation therapist is a specialist in performing radiation therapy, a treatment that involves using high-energy x-rays or other forms of radiation to destroy or damage cancer cells and stop their growth. This professional works closely with a multidisciplinary team of oncologists, radiologists, medical physicists and other specialists to plan and administer radiation therapy treatment safely and effectively for each patient. The radiation therapist uses diagnostic imaging, such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to outline the area to be treated and calculate the radiation dose needed to kill cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. In addition to administering radiation therapy, the radiation therapist also closely monitors the patient's response to treatment, adjusting the dose and duration as necessary to optimize results. It is advisable to see a radiation therapist if you have been diagnosed with cancer and radiation therapy is considered part of the treatment plan, to receive a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment that addresses the specific needs of each patient.
