TomoTherapy

TomoTherapy® is an advanced radiation therapy delivery unit that is quickly being understood as one of the most exciting and sought-after innovation in cancer treatment, especially when in the hands of our experts.

Unlike other radiation therapies that deliver wide radiation beams from five to nine different positions, TomoTherapy combines intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with CT scanning technology to direct small, focused radiation beams at the tumor from thousands of positions to accurately pinpoint cancerous masses and deliver optimal doses.

Using TomoTherapy, our doctors can treat tumors that were once untreatable with radiation. It can treat any size tumor, multiple cancerous masses simultaneously — each with differing dosages — and do it with such accuracy that nearby organs and healthy tissues remain undamaged.

Benefits

• Minimizes radiation to surrounding healthy tissue and organs.
• Causes fewer side effects than traditional radiation.
• Requires fewer treatment visits.
• Delivers painless and precise radiation to tumor.
• Treats tumors that were once untreatable because of location or previous radiation.
