    "description": "The radiation oncologist's ongoing oversight of a patient partway through a course of radiotherapy, counted in blocks of five delivered treatments. The work includes examining the patient, checking treatment setup and port images, reviewing the dose delivered so far, managing side effects such as skin reaction or fatigue, and deciding whether the plan needs adjusting. It is the physician management layer, separate from the daily technical delivery of the beam.",
