Radiation Therapy

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

Radiation Treatment Planning

Radiation treatment planning uses imaging and clinical information to determine the appropriate radiation dose, treatment area and treatment schedule for each patient.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy uses anti-cancer medicines to destroy or control cancer cells and may be used alone or together with radiation therapy and surgery depending on cancer type and stage.

Breast Cancer Treatment

Breast cancer treatment may involve surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy or targeted treatment depending on tumor subtype, stage and individual patient factors.

Lung Cancer Treatment

Lung cancer treatment is selected according to cancer type, stage and molecular characteristics and may include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy or immunotherapy.

Gastrointestinal Cancer Treatment

Gastrointestinal cancer treatment includes management of cancers affecting the esophagus, stomach, colon, rectum and other digestive organs using multidisciplinary treatment approaches.
