What is Radiation Therapy

A high energy light is used to destroy cancer cells at the precise location of the cancer Tumor. Different Radiation therapies are used based on the type of cancer, its location, size, and sensitivity to radiation.

Getting Ready for Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy begins with ensuring you're comfortable. You'll stay still in every session, so a personalized body mold or face mask will be created just for you. To accurately target the area, a temporary marker or tiny tattoo will mark the spot for radiation. Finally, you'll undergo a detailed scan to craft a radiation plan tailored to your unique needs.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

During each session, the radiation therapy machine will be carefully set to deliver the precise dose of radiation just for you. As the machine moves around you, you might hear a buzzing sound—this is perfectly normal and ensures the treatment reaches the right angles. Each session takes about 10 to 30 minutes, with most of the time spent making sure your body is positioned just right. Rest assured, the team will always be nearby in a separate room and available to assist you if you feel uncomfortable at any point.

CION Complete Care
- Every Step of the Way

downarrow-icon 1. Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT)
IGRT uses real-time imaging to guide radiation therapy, making sure the radiation is precisely aimed at the tumor.
downarrow-icon 2. Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
Intensity Modulated RT: IMRT delivers radiation in varying intensities, allowing it to target the tumor more precisely and spare nearby healthy tissue.
downarrow-icon 3. 3D/2D Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D/2D CRT)
3D Conformal RT: 3DCRT uses detailed imaging to shape the radiation beams to the tumor's form, reducing exposure to healthy tissue, while 2DCRT uses a simpler, less precise method.
downarrow-icon 4. Stereotactic Radiation Therapy (SRT)
Stereotactic RT: SRT is a precise radiation therapy that targets small tumors with high doses in fewer treatments, with pinpoint accuracy.
downarrow-icon 5. Rapid Arc/Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT)
VMAT delivers radiation by rotating around the patient, providing a fast and precise treatment that adjusts the beam's intensity and shape.
downarrow-icon 6. Stereotactic Radio Surgery (SRS)
Stereotactic Radiosurgery: SRS is a non-surgical treatment that delivers a single, high-dose radiation to small areas, commonly used for brain tumors.
