“With its clearer images and more advanced technological features, the CT Simulator allows us to plan radiation treatments with more precision,” says Robert Brookland, MD, Chairman of Radiation Oncology. The wider opening is able to accommodate patients of a larger stature as well as those, like breast cancer patients, who must maintain a position such as holding their hands behind their head. It shows an exact image of the tumor site which helps provide physicians information to create an effective treatment plan. When treatment is approved, it is administered using the department’s newest linear accelerator, which delivers three-dimensional doses of radiation directly to the tumor, while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. Many times, patients receiving radiation oncology will also require medical oncology treatment. The field of medical oncology has seen significant advancements in the past 30 years, including drugs that are able to lower the risk of cancer recurrence and improve quality of life for patients. “We place great emphasis on offering the most current, effective treatments for breast and gynecologic cancer patients,” says Robert Donegan, MD, medical oncologist.
