Treatment OptionsPrecise delivery Radiotherapy make it possible to deliver one-time or multi-treatment high-dose radiation to targeted areas of the patient’s body, in many cases eliminating the need for traditional surgery or conventional radiation therapy. With stereotactic radiosurgery, radiation treatment is delivered in tenths of a millimeter rather than the traditional three to five millimeters. This integration of extreme delivery accuracy and image-based three-dimensional and intensity modulated planning set the stage for a promising new generation of cancer treatments. Radiation sensitizers and gene therapy—in tandem with stereotactically directed radiation. Center of Excellence treatment options in brief:
