Radiation oncology uses precisely planned, high-energy radiation to treat cancer while aiming to spare surrounding healthy tissue. Modern techniques allow highly conformal dose delivery, tailored to tumor shape, location, and motion, and are often integrated with surgery, systemic therapies, and imaging-based follow-up. Our radiation oncology department delivers the below forms of radiotherapy treatments:
- Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
Delivers radiation with varying beam intensities to closely match complex tumor shapes and reduce dose to nearby organs.
- Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT)
An advanced form of IMRT that delivers treatment as the machine rotates around the patient, shortening treatment times.
- Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS)
Very high-precision, high-dose radiation in one or a few sessions, commonly used for brain and selected spinal lesions.
- Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)
SRS principles applied to tumors in the body (e.g., lung, liver), using few sessions with ablative doses.
- Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT)
Uses frequent imaging during treatment to verify positioning and adjust for motion.
