AB To  effectively  incorporate  radiation  treatment  into  cancer  care,  clinicians  must  understand  the  fundamental  concepts  and  vocabulary  used  in  radiation  oncology.  Clinically,  radiation  therapy,  often  combined  with  chemotherapy,  can  be  used  as  primary  treatment  for  many  gynecologic  malignancies  (Table  28-1).  Additionally,  radiation  therapy  may  be  recommended  postoperatively  if  the  probability  of  tumor  recurrence  is  high.  Radiation  therapy  is  also  used  frequently  in  the  relief  of  symptoms  caused  by  metastasis  of  any  gynecologic  cancer.
