Radiation therapy uses targeted energy (e.g., X-rays, radioactive substances) to destroy cancer cells, shrink tumors, and/or alleviate certain cancer-related symptoms. It may be used:

We often can provide options to patients who have reached their maximum tolerated dosage of traditional radiation.
Radiation therapy may be given alone or in combination with other treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and/or immunotherapy. Throughout treatment, radiation oncologists monitor the effectiveness of the radiation therapy and modify treatment plans accordingly.
