Radiation therapy, or radiotherapy, is one of the most common cancer treatments. In fact, the technique—using focused radiation to kill cancer cells—has been around for more than a century. But a lot has changed in 100 years. Today, technological advances in imaging, beam shaping, and robotics enable skilled radiation oncologists to target tumors with unprecedented precision—and far less damage to surrounding tissue.
Every cancer case is different. Radiation therapy may be the only treatment you need, or it may be delivered in careful coordination with other cancer therapies such as chemotherapy, surgery or immunotherapy. Our team will help you determine the best course of treatment.
