We offer a wide range of radiation therapy services for the treatment of cancer, including external beam radiation therapy, brachytherapy, stereotactic body radiation therapy, and image-guided radiation therapy. We also specialize in several advanced techniques such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), volumetric arc therapy (VMAT), and proton therapy. Our team of experts works together to develop individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs and medical history.

External Beam Radiation Therapy: This is a common type of radiation therapy that uses a machine called a linear accelerator to deliver high-energy radiation beams to the cancerous area from outside the body. We use the most advanced techniques, such as IMRT and VMAT, to precisely target the tumor and minimize radiation exposure to healthy tissues.

Brachytherapy: This treatment involves placing small radioactive sources directly into or near the tumor, allowing for high doses of radiation to be delivered directly to the cancerous area. We offer both low-dose rate (LDR) and high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy, depending on the type and stage of cancer.

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT): This treatment is a specialized form of external beam radiation therapy that delivers high doses of radiation to small, well-defined tumors in a few sessions. SBRT is typically used for tumors in the lungs, liver, pancreas, and prostate.

Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT): IGRT uses imaging techniques such as CT scans and MRIs to precisely locate the tumor before each treatment session. This ensures that radiation is delivered to the exact location of the tumor while avoiding healthy tissues.

Proton Therapy: This advanced form of radiation therapy uses proton particles instead of X-rays to deliver radiation to the cancerous area. Proton therapy is highly effective for certain types of cancer, especially those located near vital organs or in children.
