Conditions We Manage
We offer several advanced radiation therapy techniques to treat cancer with precision and effectiveness:
Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
A high-precision radiation technique that allows for modulation of radiation doses to spare healthy tissues.
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)
Delivers high doses of radiation to small, well-defined tumors in fewer treatment sessions.
Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT)
A form of IMRT that delivers radiation in a 360-degree arc, enhancing treatment speed and precision.
Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT)
Uses real-time imaging to ensure precise delivery of radiation.
Brachytherapy
Internal radiation treatment, particularly effective for cancers such as prostate and cervical cancer.
Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT)
