Improved & Expanded Treatment Options for Cancer
Cancer treatments have evolved significantly in recent years. Historically, the primary treatment options included surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Today, these options have been refined and can be applied with greater precision, often in combination with new treatments, resulting in better outcomes and fewer side effects. Each year, new chemotherapy drugs are introduced, offering improved targeting of cancer cells and achieving better results.
Our center is at the forefront of advanced radiation therapy treatments. We provide Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), a cutting-edge technology that manipulates radiation beams to conform to the tumor's shape. This precision reduces exposure to healthy tissue and minimizes side effects. Our linear accelerator is equipped with CT technology, enabling 3D Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT). This allows radiation therapists to visualize the tumor in real-time during treatment, ensuring accurate delivery of radiation.
Our team of professionals, including radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, radiation therapists, oncology nurses, a nurse navigator, dosimetrists, physicists, medical assistants, and support staff, collaborates to provide the safest and most effective care for our patients.
