In our lifetime, cancer touches us all – a family member, an old school friend, or even ourselves. Today, thanks to early detection and advances in treatment, survival rates are higher than ever.

A Radiation Therapist is a vital part of the cancer care team, working closely with Radiation Oncologists to plan and deliver targeted radiation treatments. They use advanced imaging and computer systems to calculate the precise dose needed for each patient, aiming to destroy cancer cells while protecting healthy tissue. With skill and precision, they operate sophisticated equipment to ensure the treatment is safe, effective, and tailored to each patient’s needs.
