Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy is a critical medical treatment that uses high-energy radiation to target and destroy cancer cells. Coursera's Radiation Therapy catalogue teaches you the fundamental principles of ionizing radiation, its biological effects on cells, and the various techniques used in modern radiotherapy. You'll learn to understand different types of radiation delivery methods, including external beam radiation therapy, brachytherapy, and systemic radioisotope therapy, as well as how to plan treatments, operate specialized equipment, and ensure patient safety. Mastering radiation therapy skills empowers healthcare professionals to effectively treat cancer patients, contribute to cutting-edge research in oncology, and play a vital role in improving cancer survival rates and quality of life for patients undergoing treatment.
