Radiation Oncology

Radiation Oncology at Northwest Cancer Specialists is celebrated as a premier program due to our comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to care.  To provide patients with the individualized attention they need, our staff is experienced in the most advanced approaches to treatment.  In addition, we offer technologically superior facilities to provide the best care possible.

Our patients often receive other treatments such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy or surgery as well as radiation therapy.  To ensure the best possible outcome, this multi-disciplinary approach requires collaboration and coordination among the specialists on a patient's treatment team.  In addition, other members of the Cancer Support Services Program may be brought in to better help you successfully manage your treatment.  The major goal of radiation therapy is to maximize curing cancer while maintaining optimal organ function and quality of life.
