EP 605: Rethinking Radiation Oncology: What Every Man Should Know About Cutting-Edge Radiation Cancer Treatments

In this episode, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee are joined by special guest Dr. Douglas Rivera of the Austin Cancer Center. Dr. Rivera is a radiation oncologist who uses modern and cutting-edge radiation therapy to treat a range of cancers in the body. Many people have misconceptions about radiation oncology and are afraid to consider this option. In reality, radiation treatments are incredibly precise and can be delivered in many effective, efficient forms depending on the type, severity, and even genetic markers of an individual patient's cancer. Tune in to learn what brachytherapy is and why these "radiation seeds" are a great choice for treating localized prostate cancer. Dr. Rivera also explains what every cancer patient should know before selecting a radiation oncologist and what to expect from different types of radiation therapies.
