View profile →Radiation oncologist: what to know
A radiation oncologist is the specialist doctor who treats cancer with ionising radiation, known as radiotherapy. Working with the oncology team, they confirm whether treatment is appropriate, plan sessions precisely to target the tumour while sparing nearby tissue, and provide follow-up during and after treatment.
When to book an appointment
- Radiotherapy recommended after a cancer diagnosis
- A specialist opinion on radiation as a treatment option
- Planning your sessions before the treatment actually begins
- Follow-up of side effects after radiotherapy
Costs in Switzerland
Treatment by a radiation oncologist is covered by basic health insurance (LAMal/KVG); patients are usually referred by their oncologist or another doctor.
