Treatments – Brachytherapy and TomoTherapy®

This video features Dr. James Flynn and Dr. Douglas Kelly, radiation oncologists at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The doctors talk about two of the leading radiation treatments for cancer offered at CTCA: High-Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy and TomoTherapy®.

“The major differences between external radiation and brachytherapy are with external radiation, like TomoTherapy®, you have the radiation coming from the outside into the tumor,” explains Dr. Kelly. “With brachytherapy, we put a catheter into the tumor and a radioactive pellet goes into the catheter. You’re radiating the tumor from the inside out.”

The radiation oncologists also discuss how TomoTherapy® and HDR brachytherapy may be used to treat lung cancer.

Real Patients. Real Stories. Real Hope.

Do these videos feature real cancer patients?

Yes, the videos in this section feature real CTCA survivors with real stories to tell. These are not actors. They are cancer patients who came to CTCA and emerged as survivors. These stories are not scripted. They are personal accounts of people who found hope, and a voice, at CTCA. This is what they have to say, in their own words...

Why are some, not all, cancer types listed?

At CTCA, we treat individuals with a variety of cancer types. However, all of our survivors are not on film. If you don't see a survivor with the cancer type you're looking for, it only means we do not have a video at this time.

Keep in mind, we are continuously adding videos to this section. If you don't see the one you're looking for today, visit us again, or let us know how we can improve.
