Radiation therapy may be just one part of the plan devised by your treatment team. It's common to combine radiation with surgery, chemotherapy or other treatments. We work closely with your other physicians as part of a team. The treatment plan that's right for you, and the amount of radiation used, will depend on the type of tumor you have, its location, the "stage" of the tumor, and your own general health.

Radiation Oncologists undergo four years of residency (in addition to an internship) with extensive oncology training. After their training, radiation oncologists may undergo certification by the American Board of Radiology.
