Department of Radiation Oncology
Radiotherapy is a crucial component of cancer treatment modalities. Radiation therapy uses high energy radiation to kill cancer cells. Cancer is the main indication of radiotherapy, although some benign conditions are treated with radiation. The Department of Radiation Oncology provides comprehensive radiotherapy services. We provide 2D radiation therapy, 3D conformal radiation therapy, stereotactic radiation therapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy, and image-guided radiation therapy. Brachytherapy is a method of irradiating radiation to a limited area by placing a radiation-generating device or isotope directly onto the tumor. Our experienced team provides a state-of-the-art brachytherapy.
