Overview

State-of-the-art radiation therapy uses focused, high-energy X-ray beams that match the shape of the tumor. This therapy destroys cancer cells while sparing surrounding healthy organs or tissue. Our multidisciplinary team of cancer specialists works together to recommend the best treatment plan for your cancer. In some cases, radiation is used in conjunction with systemic therapy or surgery for best results.
