Radiation Oncology
If your cancer care plan includes this therapy, a specialized radiation oncologist will use high doses of radiation to slow, stop or destroy cancer cells. Today’s advanced radiation therapy treatments are extremely precise, targeting only a designated area. This makes it more effective with less harm to healthy tissues, so you’ll have fewer radiation therapy side effects.
What is Radiation Oncology?
Our specialists, including a physicist, dosimetrist and radiation therapists, use advanced technologies to deliver highly accurate treatments. The team will help determine which approach may benefit you the most. Doctors can deliver higher doses of radiation with pinpoint accuracy for more complex cancers. More targeted approaches can treat cancer cells while preserving surrounding tissues and shortening your treatment and recovery time.
Our clinic is equipped with innovative radiation therapy technology, including stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT/SABR), volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), 3D conformal radiation therapy and electron therapy. We use a team-based approach, giving you the knowledge and experience to provide quality, professional and compassionate care.
