Radiation therapists work under an oncologist as part of a medical team to prepare patients and administer radiation treatments for cancer and some other conditions. They take precise measurements of patients for treatment and may fit them with specialized equipment to be used during sessions. During the course of treatment, they will monitor the patient's responses, including side effects, and may adjust the schedule or doses of radiation accordingly. They may work at a hospital or at a freestanding cancer treatment center.
Radiation therapists also provide emotional support to patients and family members who are going through an extremely stressful process. As part of the treatment team who will see the patient frequently, it is important to be sensitive and understanding of the fact that patients may be upset and emotional. Radiation therapists generally hold an associate's or a bachelor's degree and are often required to hold a license in the state in which they practice.
