A dedicated staff of board –certified radiation oncologists, nurses, therapists, and medical physicists will help ensure that your plan of care is appropriate and individualized for treating your specific type of brain tumor.
The center offers a wide array of radiation treatments including:
- Standard External Beam Radiation Therapy
- Novalis Stereotactic Radiosurgery
- This newly acquired shaped beam linear accelerator offers advanced, minimally invasive radiation treatment options for patients with tumors of the brain, head, neck, and spine. The Novalis system provides an alternative treatment option for selected patients allowing them to avoid invasive surgery altogether. It is also used in those who cannot undergo traditional surgery because of other serious illnesses, and those whose tumors are located in inoperable areas. Together neurosurgeons, and radiation oncologists map out a treatment plan using shaped beam radiation, a non-invasive delivery of a precise dose of high-energy radiation to shrink or control the growth of a tumor. The procedure is virtually painless, avoids lengthy hospital stays or rehabilitation, and is performed on an outpatient basis.
