Our advanced, quality care
Our team uses the latest approaches to maximize treatment and minimize side effects. Patients experience greater comfort during the outpatient procedures, shorter treatment times, fewer side effects and have the potential for better outcomes. Your radiation therapy may involve:
- Brachytherapy. A type of internal radiation therapy that implants tiny radiation-emitting seeds or pellets in or near the cancer.
- Stereotactic radiotherapy. A highly precise type of radiotherapy that can treat cancer and metastatic lesions in as few as one to three sessions.
- Gamma Knife radiosurgery. A specialized radiation treatment for tumors and metastases in the brain.
- Latest radiotherapy techniques for optimal outcomes, including prone positioning for breast treatments to protect the heart, frameless fixation for less invasive treatment to the brain and respiratory gating to synchronize radiation with the patient’s breathing.
Delivering multi-specialty care under one roof
At Roswell Park, your radiation therapy is coordinated with your entire cancer care team, including your surgical and medical oncologists, transplant physicians, and other experts. Your care may involve:
- Intra-operative radiation therapy, which treats surgical tumor margins with radiation while in the operating room. Roswell Park is the only provider in the region with this capability.
- Chemoradiation treatment in which your chemotherapy and radiation treatments are delivered on the same day to optimize the effectiveness of both.
- Integrated support services to care for you and not just your cancer.
