AB This  chapter  will  cover  the  intersection  of  the  practice  of  radiation  oncology  with  the  legal  system  by  examining  the  epidemiology  of  medical  malpractice  risk,  strategies  to  avoid  malpractice  risk,  and  advice  to  radiation  oncologists  who  are  sued.  It  will  also  provide  examples  of  how  the  elements  of  a  claim  of  negligence  manifest  in  the  specific  context  of  radiotherapy  practice.  Radiation  oncology  risk  in  the  business  practice  of  medicine  will  also  be  briefly  considered.
