RADIATION ONCOLOGY SERVICES
SPECIALIZATION
Our Radiation Oncologists treat adults with all cancer diagnoses. They also use the most advanced, cutting-edge techniques including the following:
*Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy(IMRT)
*Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS)
*Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)
*Image-guided Radiotherapy (IGRT)
*4D Guidance and Gated Delivery AlignRT
*HDR and LDR Brachytherapy
*Radioactive Unsealed Source Administration
*Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI)

INTENSITY MODULATED RADIATION THERAPY
This technique uses an x-ray producing devise to safely and painlessly deliver precise radiation doses to a tumor while minimizing the dose to surrounding normal tissue.
STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY
A non-surgical radiation therapy used to treat small tumors of the brain. It delivers precisely-targeted radiation in fewer treatments than traditional therapy, which can help preserve healthy tissue.
STEREOTACTIC BODY RADIOTHERAPY
This is a non-surgical technique similar to Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS). When SRS is used to treat body tumors, it’s called stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).
IMAGE-GUIDED RADIATION THERAPY
This uses imaging, most often CT, in the administrationof radiation therapy. This allows for precise and accurate delivery. Used to treat tumors in areas of the body that move, such as the lungs.
4D IMAGE-GUIDED AND GATED DELIVERY-AlignRT
AlignRT detects motion during radiation therapy using multiple advanced camera units, monitoring thousands of reference points. With even slight motion AlignRT automatically pauses the radiation.
HDR AND LDR BRACHYTHERAPY
Brachytherapy places radioactive sources inside the patient on a temporary or permanent basis to damage cancer cells’ DNA and destroy their ability to divide and grow.
RADIOACTIVE UNSEALED SOURCE ADMINISTRATION
This technique administers radioactive material, Y90, via glass microspheres delivered directly into the blood supply of tumors. Also know as transarterial radioembolization (TARE).
ACCELLERATED PARTIAL BREAST IRRADIATION
APBI is a newer, localized alternative for radiation therapy treatment of early breast cancer. Direct targeting of tissue at risk reduces treatment time and may limit adverse side effects.
CYBERKNIFE AND TRUEBEAM THERAPY ADMINISTRATION
CyberKnife is a non-invasive, robotic method of delivering radiation for the treatment of tumors. It can be an alternative to surgery for inoperable or surgically complex tumors.
