Advanced Radiation Therapy Care
Radiation oncology, also called radiation therapy, is a type of cancer treatment that is used alone or alongside chemotherapy.
Radiation oncology is often used as a treatment for cancer. It delivers precise, high-dose X-ray radiation directly to unhealthy tissue and cancer while protecting the surrounding healthy tissue.
We personalize your treatment plan based on the type, stage and location of your cancer. We collaborate with your care team, including your surgeons, pathologists, oncologists/hematologists, nutritionists, primary care physicians and social workers, to provide you the best care.
