What is Radiation Oncology?

Radiation therapy kills cancer cells by using high-energy radiation. About 50 percent of all cancer patients are treated with some type of radiation during their cancer treatment. Used before or during other procedures, radiation shrinks tumors to make surgery or chemotherapy more effective. Used after surgery or chemo, it destroys any remaining cancer cells. For some patients, radiation will be their only form of treatment.

Our radiation oncologists are an integral part of your care team, working closely with your other health care providers to develop the most effective treatment plan. We offer treatment for all types of cancers, including:

  • Breast
  • Colorectal
  • Gynecological
  • Prostate
  • Head & Neck
  • Lung
  • Brain
  • Skin
  • Bone
