Radiation therapists perform prescribed radiation therapy to patients of all ages who are suffering from cancer and other various health disorders such as thyroid disease. During patient treatment, the radiation therapist administers controlled radiation to specific areas of the body, destroying the abnormal cells causing the patient’s illness.

Radiation therapist jobs require maneuvering patients who are often disabled due to disease, which can be physically demanding.
