Radiotherapy, also known as radiation therapy in Singapore, is an effective treatment for cancer patients. It is a treatment modality where a radiation oncologist utilises high energy X-rays or radioactive implants to kill cancer cells. External-beam radiation therapy frequently utilises X-rays to treat cancers, but protons and other types of energy beams are also utilised. An effective option across various stages of cancer treatment, radiotherapy is an essential treatment tool administered by radiation oncologists in Singapore. Dr Johann Tang’s extensive experience in treating a wide variety of cancers reassures patients that they will receive the most appropriate and personalised treatment.
