Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation to destroy or control cancer cells while protecting surrounding healthy tissues as much as possible.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery

Stereotactic radiosurgery delivers highly focused radiation to selected tumors with high precision and minimal exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.

Intracavitary Brachytherapy

Intracavitary brachytherapy places a radiation source close to or inside the affected body cavity to deliver concentrated radiation directly to the tumor area.

CyberKnife Treatment

CyberKnife is a form of stereotactic radiation treatment that delivers precise radiation beams to selected tumors while reducing radiation exposure to nearby healthy tissue.

Head & Neck Cancer Radiation

Radiation treatment for cancers affecting the oral cavity, throat, larynx and other head and neck structures is planned to achieve cancer control while preserving important functions whenever possible.

Breast Cancer Radiation

Radiation therapy may be used after breast-conserving surgery or in selected post-mastectomy cases to reduce the risk of local cancer recurrence.

Lung Cancer Radiation

Radiation therapy for lung cancer may be used alone or together with chemotherapy, targeted therapy or immunotherapy depending on the type and stage of cancer.

Brain Tumor Radiation

Radiation therapy and stereotactic techniques may be used to treat selected primary and metastatic brain tumors based on size, location and number of lesions.

Prostate Cancer Radiation

Radiation therapy may be used as a definitive or additional treatment for prostate cancer depending on disease stage and individual patient factors.

Gastrointestinal Cancer Radiation

Radiation therapy may be included in the treatment of selected gastrointestinal cancers such as rectal, esophageal and other tumors as part of a multidisciplinary treatment plan.

Palliative Radiation Therapy

Palliative radiation therapy is used to relieve symptoms such as pain, bleeding or pressure caused by advanced cancer and improve the patient's quality of life.
