Radiation Therapy and Radiation Onocology?
953732
Do you mean "Radiation Oncology"?\nRadiation Oncology- sum of knowledge regarding treatment of tumours by radiation. \nA radiation oncologist is a doctor who specialises in the treatment of cancer patients, using radiation as the main modality of treatment as opposed to a medical oncologist who is a doctor who uses chemotherapy as the preferred modality of treatment.\nThere are two types of radiotherapy - delivered from outside the body by a machine, and using radioactive implants placed inside the body.\nPlease see the webpages for more details on Radiation therapy.

Yes.\nIn fact its vest to refuse treatment from the mainstream meducal profession, and seek an alternative treatment. There are many cures available.\n\nRead this report.\n\n\nhttp://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/body/cancer.html

Neuropsych is good, but it almost sounds like you are interested in neuroscience (hint when you look at this: many universities have seperate neuroscience and psychology departments)

I agree with hyperdrug17.  The money is good, and it is a very cool field, with advancement in CT, MRI, Pet/CT, Nuc, Ultrasound, well you get the picture.

"Radiation therapy is the treatment of cancer with ionizing radiation. Radiation works by damaging the DNA within tumor cells, making them unable to divide and grow. Radiation is often given with the intent of destroying the tumor and curing the disease but although radiation is directed at the tumor, it is inevitable that the normal, non-cancerous tissues surrounding the tumor will also be affected by the radiation and therefore damaged. The goal of radiation therapy is to maximize the dose to tumor cells while minimizing exposure to normal, healthy cells."\n"Because no single therapy can provide complete treatment for a patient with a solid tumor, radiotherapy is often used in combination with surgery or chemotherapy to improve the chances of a successful treatment outcome. Sometimes radiation is used to relieve symptoms, such as pain or seizures; this is called palliative treatment"

Radioactive materials are sometimes used in medicine for example to concentrate a beam and kill tumor tissues.  For this kind of therapy it would be important to confirm that the planned dose is received and not exceeded.  One or more dosimeters would likely be used to measure the "dose."

If you are asking if a person can receive both at the same time, yes. My dad is taking both treatments right now. I can't say for sure that he takes both in the same day, though. His is for lung cancer.

the chemicals are mostly the same as any black and white darkroom chemicals, which i have been working with most my life. not a problem. it's the radiation, but the technician is protected from that, so i don't see that radiology is a hazardous occupation at all. in fact it is quite lucrative. go for it.

There's too many to list.\nHere is the American Psychological Association's Division list.  That should give you a good idea of the different fields.

gamma knife procedure, surgical, radio, chemo, immuno.  There is hope.  M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston TX can help.  Don't let the past discourage you.  New treatments are winning the battle with even the most invasive cancers.  \n\nhttp://www.mdanderson.org/?gclid=CMzN-8PV2ogCFRgvUAodhHFXeQ
