Upstate radiation oncologist Linda Schicker, MD, explains how radiation therapy works and what patients can expect during and after treatment. Radiation therapy is typically used to treat some solid tumors, such as in prostate or breast cancers, rather than cancers in the blood, such as leukemia. Schicker sees most of her patients in the Upstate Cancer Center's Oneida satellite office.
