Our Center offers you the latest state-of-the-art high-energy radiation technology for your treatment. The types of radiation therapy available at the Center include radiation as the sole form of therapy, pre-operative radiation to reduce the tumor size prior to surgery, and post-operative radiation to destroy cells possibly left behind following surgery. In some cases, radiation, along with an anti-tumor drug (given by your medical oncologist), may be used in combination to destroy the cancer. The radiation treatment may be administered by external beam or brachytherapy. External beam treatments are done on our facility's dual energy Varian 2100C Linear Accelerator with an IMPAC Record and Verify Treatment System. Brachytherapy treatments are administered by permanent implants (i.e., Transperineal Seed Implants). The Center is also equipped with a 3D Treatment Planning System.
