RADIOTHERAPY
Pros:
-End branch – specialist degree in 3 years,
-fellowship in head and oncology is the current in demand..
-eligible to do DM MEDICAL ONCOLOGY
-Its a branch in demand. As cancer incidence is increasing u can give both radiation and chemotherapy if u do DM
Cons:
-Palliative treatment and patient mortality is more.
- Awareness regarding the branch in society is less
Final Take : No Occupational risk as radiation exposure will be minimum. As planning room is seperate and fully shielded where we do planning. If u are seriously interested in oncology and want to prolong lifes of many and reduce the suffering of cancer patients and if u want to see different different cases in opd daily then go for it.Onco need s lot of dedication so if are only interested in this branch go for it. - via Dr. Mounika Chenna Reddy MD Indore
