At Cancer Treatment Center at Hazleton, we treat several different types of conditions including; skin cancer, lymphomas and sarcomas, gynecologic cancer, metastatic cancer, malignant and benign tumors in the brain, lung, and cancers of the breast, prostate, colon, and pancreas using advanced radiation technology. Our team of medical specialists collaborate together to develop a customized treatment plan for your specific diagnosis. We offer several types of radiation therapy designed to treat all forms and stages of cancer including:

➤External beam radiation therapy (EBRT)
Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
A type of radiation treatment whereby the radiation beam is carefully sculpted around a patient’s anatomy, providing more precise targeting of the tumor and greater sparing of surrounding normal organs.

➤ 3-D conformal therapy
A process whereby each patient’s anatomy is rendered three-dimensionally from a high-resolution CT scan, allowing the physician to design a customized technique to conform the prescribed dose to the cancerous cells while shielding healthy tissue and organs.

➤ Image guided radiation therapy (IGRT)
A technique used to track the internal movement of a patient’s anatomy by imaging the patient each day during treatment and making fine positioning adjustments.

➤ Prostate Brachytherapy
