Radiation Oncology

Radiation Oncology

It's very frequently delivered by a radiation oncologist and planned with a neurosurgeons input.

Radiation Oncologists are in charge of the treatment delivery, frequently with neurosurgery input for planning purposes.

Simple stuff (small, uncomplicated brain mets for example) are sometimes just treated by the rad onc alone.
