RADIATION ONCOLOGY

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

The Zangmeister Cancer Center offers world-class radiation oncology treatment options for a variety of cancers. Radiation therapy uses precisely controlled radiation to target cancer while sparing healthy tissue. Our advanced treatment options include Stereotactic Radiosurgery radiation(SRS), where we treat brain tumors with sub-millimeter accuracy.

We also offer Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT), where we are able to treat some types of tumors with much fewer treatments. Utilizing advanced imaging techniques (4DCT) we are able to see how a tumor moves while the patient is breathing. Respiratory gating then allows us to deliver radiation to our patients only when tumor motion is minimal, greatly reducing risk of side effects to healthy tissue.

The Zangmeister Center also utilizes advanced technology (IGRT and IMRT) to ensure that we are targeting the tumor with precision during every treatment. Our team of radiation oncology physicians, physicists, dosimetrists, therapists and nurses work closely with patients, family members and their referring physicians to provide patient-focused care in a facility designed for easy access and comfort.
