About the video

Radiation Therapists create a safe environment for patients, easing their worries and making it easier for them to get diagnosed.

About the job

Radiation Therapists use advanced equipment and techniques to deliver the prescribed radiation dosage to treat mainly cancer patients.

Note

Radiation Therapy is not like Chemotherapy. Chemotherapy delivers drugs to the entire body. Whereas Radiation Therapy only targets specific areas of the body with cancerous cells. It aims to reduce the number of healthy cells affected during the treatment.
