Cancer Doctors – Dr. Bernard Eden
This video features Dr. Bernard Eden, Director of Radiation Oncology at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) at Midwestern Regional Medical Center.
Dr. Eden talks about how cancer affects people on many levels—physically, nutritionally, emotionally, and spiritually. He also discusses how he and his colleagues at CTCA have multidisciplinary conferences to discuss patients so that they can provide a truly holistic treatment plan for them. In addition, Dr. Eden describes one of the advanced technologies CTCA offers to patients:
"A couple of years ago, CTCA acquired a very advanced piece of technology called TomoTherapy, which allows us to precisely focus the radiation on tumor targets. In fact, we were the fifth or sixth hospital in the world that had this device. To be able to use it for our patients has been an incredible opportunity. It’s very rewarding, and very fulfilling and gratifying to be able to treat patients and offer them hope with these technologies."
