Radiation Oncology

Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy utilizes computerized scans including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron-emission tomography (PET). We also utilize simulators and planning treatment systems so we can specifically pinpoint tumors and normal tissue and precisely determine radiation treatment fields and doses. This approach produces an accurate image of the tumor and surrounding organs so radiation oncologists can, in a sense, mold multiple radiation beams to the exact shape and contour of the tumor alone.

Our philosophy is that no radiation treatment is a routine procedure. We believe it takes a comprehensive group of professionals including radiation, surgical and medical oncologists, physicists, dosimetrists, radiation therapists, nurses, social workers, nutritionists and integrated medicine specialists to provide patients with the most appropriate and effective treatment plan.
