Radiation Oncology

About Us

At the Radiation Oncology Department, we specialize in using targeted radiation to treat various types of cancer. Our goal is to offer effective, personalized treatment plans that aim to eradicate cancer cells while minimizing impact on surrounding healthy tissue. Our multidisciplinary team works together to provide comprehensive care tailored to your individual needs.

Our Services

Advanced Radiation Therapy

We utilize cutting-edge technology to deliver precise and effective radiation therapy. This includes techniques such as Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT), and 3D Conformal Radiation Therapy (3DCRT) to target tumors accurately and minimize side effects.

Personalized Treatment Planning

Our team creates individualized treatment plans based on detailed imaging and diagnostic information. We use advanced planning software to design a treatment plan that targets the cancer while preserving healthy tissue, ensuring the best possible outcomes.

Brachytherapy

For certain cancers, we offer brachytherapy, a form of internal radiation therapy where a radioactive source is placed close to or inside the tumor. This technique allows for high-dose radiation to the cancerous area with minimal exposure to surrounding tissues.

Pediatric Radiation Oncology

We provide specialized care for pediatric patients with cancer, using techniques designed to minimize radiation exposure while effectively treating the disease. Our team is experienced in working with children and their families to ensure a supportive and caring environment.

Treatment for Common Cancers

We offer radiation therapy for various types of cancer, including breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, and brain tumors. Our team works closely with your oncologist to develop a treatment plan that aligns with your specific diagnosis and treatment goals.

Supportive Care and Symptom Management

Throughout your treatment, we focus on managing any side effects and providing supportive care to enhance your comfort and quality of life. Our team is dedicated to addressing your physical, emotional, and psychological needs.

Ongoing Monitoring and Follow-Up

We provide continuous monitoring of your progress during and after treatment. Follow-up appointments and imaging are essential to assess the effectiveness of therapy, manage any potential side effects, and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

Patient Education and Involvement

Understanding your treatment is crucial for effective care. We provide clear, accessible information about your radiation therapy, including how it works, what to expect, and how to prepare. We encourage active involvement in your care and are here to answer any questions you may have.

Compassionate Care Environment

From your initial consultation to the completion of your treatment, we strive to create a supportive and respectful environment. Our staff is committed to providing care with empathy, professionalism, and a focus on your overall well-being.
