4. Immuno Therapy
Radiation Therapy correct answers Is the use of ionizing radiation in the treatment of patients
with benign and malignant disease
Goals of treatment: correct answers -Precisely deliver a cancercidal dose of radiation to a defined
tumor volume
-limit the dose to normal healthy tissue
Who is involved with radiation therapy for patients: correct answers Radiation Oncologist
Radiation Physicist
Radiation Therapist
Medical Dosimetrist
Radiation Oncologist: correct answers prescribes the *quantity* of radiation and determines the
anatomic region(s) to be treated is concerned with the causes, prevention, and the treatment of
the cancer involving special expertise in the therapeutic sue of radaition therapy, either alone or
in conjunction with surgery, chemotherapy, biotherapy, heat, or oxygen
Radiation Physicist: correct answers calibrates and maintains the radiation-producing equipment;
helps doctor w/ dose calculations
Radiation Therapist: correct answers obtains images that localize the treatment area; administers
the treatments, records the dose delivered each day, and monitors the patient's physical and
