Radiation Oncology Patient Care

PC_Hero-4

Aiming for Excellence

We believe excellence in cancer care comes from continuously working to assess and develop new therapies, while always aiming for compassionate communication and support.

About Us

The goal of the Radiation Oncology Department is to deliver the best patient care possible. We also aim to improve that "best" constantly by focusing on patients and family, by assessing new therapies in clinical trials, by developing new technologies to guide treatment planning, and by supporting basic research into understanding cancer biology. 

Each individualized treatment involves a team of each faculty physicians and physicists, residents, physician's assistants, nurses, social workers, radiation therapists, medical assistants and dosimetrists who are focused on the patient and their family. We aim to make this difficult time a bit easier by striving to communicate well, to decrease wait times and by having community practices around the state.
