Radiation Oncologist Jobs in Illinois

A Radiation Oncologist is a specialist in the radiology field who uses radiation therapy to treat diseases, primarily cancer. Their role includes designing treatment plans, monitoring the patient's response, and adjusting treatments as necessary. They also work closely with other medical professionals such as surgeons, medical oncologists, radiologists, and medical physicists to develop comprehensive treatment plans.
