What Does a Radiation Therapist Do? Unlike radiologic technologists who utilize x-rays for diagnostic purposes, radiation therapists are trained to deliver high doses of ionizing radiation to specific areas of the patientâs body for the treatment of disease, specifically cancer.
Radiation therapy (also called radiotherapy) uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells. It affects cells only in the part of the body that is treated. Radiation therapy is usually given with chemotherapy to treat stomach cancer. The radiation comes from a large machine outside the body. Youâll go to a hospital or clinic for treatment. Treatments are usually 5 days a week for several weeks.
