TrueBeam Radiotherapy System
TrueBeam technology targets tumors with a degree of power and precision
unthinkable just a few years ago. Offering advanced precision that allows
us to treat even the most challenging cancers as well as those of the
lung, liver, abdomen, head and neck, brain, prostate, and breast. These
sophisticated treatment techniques reduce most treatment sessions to only
a few minutes a day. In the hands of our expert team of oncology professionals,
we bring a level of care that rivals the most preeminent cancer centers
in the country.
CyberKnife® M6™
The CyberKnife system is one of the most advanced robotic radiosurgery
systems in the world. This system can treat moving tumors with pinpoint
accuracy. Using sophisticated software and advanced imaging to track tumor
movement, we are able to deliver an extremely accurate radiation treatment
that spares surrounding healthy tissue and critical organs from damage.
Unlike conventional radiation therapy, which can take weeks to complete,
CyberKnife patients can undergo treatment in one to five days. This treatment
is especially beneficial to patients with inoperable or surgically complex
tumors as an alternative to surgery.
Additional Radiation Technology & Therapies
In addition to the above treatments, our radiation oncologists utilize
a variety of technologies and therapies which allows us to customize treatments
to suit the unique needs of our patients. This includes, but is not limited to:
Bionix® Prone Breast System: Designed to create a more comfortable experience during radiation treatment
for breast cancer while minimizing irradiation to the chest wall—protecting
both the lungs and cardiac tissue—our Radiation Oncology Center
is proud to be one of only a few facilities in the area to offer this
simple, yet innovative system.
Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) with Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT): Our facility utilizes IMRT, IGRT, and the Varian RapidArc system to provide
treatments that allow for precise and quick targeting of cancerous tissues
while helping to spare adjacent organs—and under optimal conditions,
we can deliver the entire daily radiation treatment in as little as 90 seconds.
High Dose Rate Brachytherapy System (HDR): This computer-controlled radioactive source delivers pinpoint doses of
radiation—minimizing exposure to healthy tissues. HDR technology
is often used to treat many gynecologic cancers, such as cervical and
endometrial cancers.
Superficial Electron Beam Therapy: Typically used for superficial skin cancer treatment, this electron beam
therapy can be precisely tailored to your needs, so patients can avoid surgery.
