Radiation Oncology

Expert radiation therapy, personalized for you

We lead the way in radiation oncology research and technology. In 1896, our researchers were the first in the U.S. to use a diagnostic radiograph (an early X-ray type). Since then, we have continued to provide the best and most innovative cancer treatments. Our advanced planning, imaging, and treatment technologies allow us to tailor care to your needs. Our goal is to improve your results and reduce side effects.

Radiation oncology is a specialized area of cancer medicine that uses radiation therapy. Radiation therapy is one of the most common treatments for cancer. It uses high doses of radiation—like high-powered X-rays—to help kill cancer cells and make tumors smaller.

Treatments we provide include:

  • 3D conformal radiation therapy (3D CRT)
  • Brachytherapy (interstitial and intercavity)
  • Image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT)
  • Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)
  • MRI-guided radiation therapy
  • Radiopharmaceutical (medication) infusions
  • Respiration-gated synchronized treatment
  • Stereotactic body radiation therapy and stereotactic radiosurgery
  • Surface-guided radiation therapy
