Our Services

St. Mary's Radiation Oncology offers a comprehensive range of radiation therapy services, including:

External Beam Radiation Therapy: This is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy X-rays to target and destroy cancer cells. External beam radiation therapy can be delivered in various ways, including:

Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy : This technique shapes the radiation beam to conform to the shape of the tumor, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy : This advanced technique further enhances the precision of radiation delivery, allowing for a more targeted and effective treatment.
Image-Guided Radiation Therapy : Real-time imaging is used to monitor the tumor's position during treatment, ensuring accurate delivery of radiation.
Stereotactic Radiosurgery : This highly precise treatment option delivers a concentrated dose of radiation to small, hard-to-reach tumors, such as those in the brain or spine.
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy : This technique uses advanced technology to deliver high doses of radiation to tumors in the body, including the lungs, liver, and pancreas.

Brachytherapy: This type of treatment involves placing radioactive sources directly into or near the tumor. Brachytherapy is often used for prostate cancer, breast cancer, and cervical cancer.
Radioactive Iodine Therapy: This treatment uses radioactive iodine to target and destroy thyroid cancer cells.
Palliative Radiation Therapy: This type of treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and improving quality of life for patients with advanced cancer. Palliative radiation therapy can help manage pain, reduce swelling, and control tumor growth.
