AB Radiation  oncology  is  the  discipline  of  medicine  involving  the  use  of  ionizing  radiation  to  treat  malignancy.  The  radiation  oncologist  aims  to  deliver  a  precise  dose  of  ionizing  radiation  to  a  defined  tumor  volume  while  minimizing  damage  to  the  surrounding  normal  structures.  Due  to  the  increasingly  multidisciplinary  nature  of  oncology,  an  understanding  of  radiation  therapy  is  crucial  to  the  surgeon  involved  in  the  combined-modality  treatment  of  the  patient  with  head  and  neck  cancer.
