Radiation therapy is one of the cornerstones of modern cancer treatment, yet it often remains poorly understood and surrounded by misconceptions. How does radiotherapy work, from the initial treatment planning to the delivery of radiation and subsequent follow-up care? Who are the specialists involved, and how do the roles of radiation oncologists and medical physicists differ?
This moderated discussion offers two complementary perspectives on the same treatment process: that of the radiation oncologist, who guides patients throughout their care, and that of the medical physicist, whose expertise is essential for the precision and safety of treatment, even though their work often remains invisible to the public.
