Radiation Oncology Treatment Services
Radiation oncology is the medical specialty in
which high-energy X-rays are used to gradually
kill cancer cells so they are unable to grow,
multiply, and spread. It is referred to by a
number of different names: X-ray therapy,
radiotherapy, or irradiation. Radiation therapy is
a localized treatment, meaning it only affects the
cells in the area of the body actually being
treated. With careful planning and
state-of-the-art technology, every effort is made
to preserve as many healthy cells as possible.
In keeping with our commitment of providing the
highest standard of patient care and maintaining
state-of-the-art capabilities, the leadership,
administration, and our two wonderful doctors are
committed to offering the most current,
leading-edge radiation treatment technology.
