The term ionizing radiation refers to those subatomic particles and photons whose energy is sufficient to cause ionization in the matter with which they interact.
In general, electromagnetic radiation is radiation that travels through vacuous space at the speed of light and propagates by the interplay of oscillating electric and magnetic fields.
The term radiation is used in its broadest sense and includes specifically ionizing radiation and ultraviolet, visible and infrared light as well as microwaves, ultrasound and heat.
David Rosenberg,
Dermatologist

Use of radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy following surgery has not improved survival for patients but radiation treatments may alleviate some pain associated with the disease.
Chemotherapy and radiation treatments can damage a healthy immune system while killing the cancerous cells.
Patients who are currently receiving chemotherapy or radiation should wait until six months after treatment before receiving immunizations except for influenza vaccine which should be taken every year.
