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.
