4. Pathway evaluation program
Radiation Oncology is that discipline of human medicine concerned with the generation,
conservation, and dissemination of knowledge concerning the causes, prevention, and treatment
of cancer with particular emphasis on the role of ionizing radiation. Radiation oncologists employ a
variety of treatment modalities, including external beam radiotherapy (photons, electrons,
protons, neutrons), radioactive implantations, hyperthermia, and combined modality therapy such
as surgery and radiotherapy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, biological modifiers and
radiotherapy. Radiation therapy is employed for both the curative and palliative treatment of
cancer. As a medical specialty that is modality- rather than age- or gender-based, radiation
oncologists treat both children and adults, woman and men, and tumors at a wide variety of sites.
The most commonly treated cancers are lung, breast, head and neck, prostate, cervix and uterus,
and colorectal. There are also a limited number of benign conditions treated with radiotherapy.
The specialty offers significant opportunities for physicians with a range of interests, including
those with an exclusively clinical bent; individuals who wish to combine clinical work with basic
science and translational research; physicians who seek the chance to pursue interests in medical
physics or bioengineering; and those who wish to concentrate on research with more limited
clinical involvement. Radiation oncology offers physicians the opportunity to have control of their
time and, therefore, allows time for the responsibilities and rewards of family and personal life.
Radiation oncologists enjoy careers characterized by intellectual stimulation and the rewards of
clinical care and the generation of new knowledge.
