Our Radiation Oncology team uses the most advanced technology and innovative therapies to effectively evaluate and treat patients. We are committed to advancing the science and practice of radiation oncology and developing novel treatment approaches so that patients have the best opportunity for positive outcomes with the fewest side effects.

External Beam Radiation Therapy

When a patient has this type of treatment, the radiation comes from a large machine. The radiation is aimed at the cancer. The machine moves around you without touching you.

The following are different types of therapy that uses an external beam:

• Varian® Edge Radiosurgery System
• 3D Conformal Radiation Therapy
• IMRT: Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy
• Varian RapidArc®
• SRS and SRT: Stereotactic RadioSurgery and RadioTherapy
• SBRT: Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy
• Respiratory Gating and Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH)
• IGRT: Image Guided Radiation Therapy
• TBI: Total Body Irradiation
• Real-Time Position Management Respiratory Gating System (RPM)
• Partial Breast irradiation (PBI)
• Prone Breast Irradiation
• Calypso tracking beacons for tumor localization and internal organ movement
• Optical Surface Monitoring System (OSMS) for Motion Management
