Preparing for Radiation Therapy

Step 1: Consultation
Your first visit to radiation oncology is a consultation with the
radiation oncologist and your care team including a resident
physician and a registered nurse. You will not receive a
radiation treatment at this visit. This is an important visit to
learn about your medical history and treatment needs. For
most patients, the visit will include physical examination,
review medical history, MRI, CT or other imaging, medication
review and discussion of treatment options.
Step 2: Simulation
If it is determined, you will start radiation therapy. There are
many steps in preparation for your start date. For most types of
treatment, a simulation (SIM) appointment will be scheduled. The purpose of this visit is to outline or map the
exact area to be treated. A CT scan will be taken to verify the anatomy and assure accuracy. If needed,
immobilization devices such as a face mask or a leg mold will be made at this time. Your skin will be marked
with small dots of permanent ink (tattoos) to ensure that the precise area is treated each time. The SIM visit
takes about one hour. Some patients will receive IV contrast. Be sure to follow any preparation instructions
provided by your doctor or nurse. During the SIM visit the radiation therapist will discuss treatment times and
reserve a space for you depending on how many treatments you will be receiving.
Step 3: Treatment planning
After simulation, your radiation oncologist will give you a few days to a few weeks to relax while creating a
unique plan of treatment taking into account your diagnosis, the type of radiation machine that will be used, the
amount of radiation needed and the number of treatments to be given.
Step 4: Radiation Treatment
The number of treatments prescribed will vary depending on your specific cancer type and its location. Your
experience will be completely different from that of other patients and may differ from previous radiation
treatment you may have had. There are many different radiation therapy options, and the radiation oncologist
will discuss with you the most appropriate plan.
