In modern cancer therapy, various specialist disciplines work closely together to offer patients the best possible treatment. Radiation is an important component of many cancer therapies. The video of the Department of Radiation Oncology at MedUni Vienna and Vienna General Hospital – available in 6 languages (English, German, Romanian, Serbian, Turkish, Ukrainian) – provides helpful information on the most frequently asked questions about radiotherapy (e.g. how patients can prepare for radiotherapy; what radiation intensity affects them). The aim is to enable patients to deal with their own illness in a well-informed and competent manner.
