Radiation oncology is the treatment of tumors with highly focused and targeted energy (radiation). There are many ways that radiation can be delivered, including linear accelerator, gamma knife, and implanted material. The method chosen is a decision made by the patient and the cancer team and depends on the type of cancer a patient has, the extent of the cancer and the cancer’s location. Our board certified
radiation oncologists are skilled in all the standard and emerging treatments to meet the needs of cancer patients.
