Radiation Oncology Services | Optimus Oncology

Complete Radiation Oncology Care

Radiation oncology is a specialised field of cancer care that uses high-energy radiation to treat cancer. Radiation therapy is an important treatment option for many cancers and may be used alone or alongside surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy or other treatments, depending on the type, stage and individual needs of the patient.

At Optimus Oncology, our radiation oncology approach combines clinical expertise, advanced treatment technology and personalised care to help deliver precise radiation while protecting surrounding healthy tissues as much as possible.

Precision. Protection. Better Outcomes.

Understanding Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy works by delivering controlled, high-energy radiation to cancer cells. The radiation damages the DNA of cancer cells, reducing their ability to divide and grow. Over time, damaged cancer cells die, while the treatment team carefully plans the radiation to minimise exposure to nearby healthy tissues. The treatment approach is different for every patient. Your radiation oncologist considers factors such as the type and location of cancer, stage of disease, overall health, previous treatments and the intended goal of treatment before recommending an appropriate radiation therapy plan.

Radiation therapy may be used:

As the primary treatment for selected cancers
Before surgery to help reduce the size of a tumour
After surgery to reduce the risk of cancer returning
Alongside chemotherapy or other cancer treatments
As part of a multidisciplinary cancer treatment plan
To help relieve symptoms caused by advanced cancer, when clinically appropriate
