Dr. Chris Shukla talks about radiation oncology. Radiation oncology is a type of cancer treatment that uses high-energy rays, like X-rays, to kill cancer cells. It works by damaging the DNA inside the cancer cells, which stops them from growing and dividing. Over time, the damaged cells die off, and the body naturally gets rid of them. Radiation can be aimed very precisely at the tumor, which helps protect the healthy tissue around it. This makes it an effective way to treat many types of cancer, either on its own or along with other treatments like surgery or chemotherapy.
