Center of Excellence in Image-guided Radiation Therapy

Few lives go untouched by cancer. Whether it’s a child or an adult, a loved one or a friend, cancer’s impact can be potent and long-lasting. Fortunately, great advances are being made in cancer patient care.

University of Iowa Health Care’s Center of Excellence in Image-guided Radiation Therapy, opened in June 2005 and offers world-class cancer care in advanced accommodations.

As a component of the UI Healthcare and the Holden Cancer Center at The University of Iowa and the Department of Radiation Oncology, the Center of Excellence will:

• Broaden Iowa’s multidisciplinary research programs and attract additional research funding
• Contribute significantly to UI Health Care’s patient care, biomedical research, and medical education missions
• Alleviate physical limitations in existing facilities
• Be a national leader in patient care and cancer research
• Enable UI’s cancer specialists within the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center to serve Iowa’s radiation oncology needs well into the 21st century
