Radiation Oncology: A Medical Specialty 

Radiation is a high-energy beam of X-rays focused on a specific area to destroy abnormal cells, with every effort made to preserve normal tissue. In many cases, radiation therapy is the single best method for the treatment and cure of cancer. At times, it is combined with surgery and/or chemotherapy to achieve the best results. Radiation therapy also is used to reduce pressure or control bleeding or pain in cancer patients. For your information, the names and information of some of the radiation services we provide are:
