Radiation Oncology

At JJ Cancer Center, our Radiation Oncology department is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and a highly experienced team dedicated to delivering precise and effective cancer treatment. Discover our comprehensive range of advanced radiation therapies, tailored to each patient’s needs for the best possible outcomes.

Our Approach to Radiation Oncology

Our Radiation Oncology team at JJ Cancer Center offers precision-targeted treatments using high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. Each treatment is carefully crafted to maximize effectiveness and minimize side effects, ensuring optimal patient outcomes.

Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT)

Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) is one of the most advanced forms of radiation therapy, and JJ Cancer Center is proud to offer this cutting-edge treatment. IMRT allows our oncologists to precisely target the cancerous tumor with high doses of radiation while minimizing the exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. Using advanced imaging and computer algorithms, we shape the radiation beams to the exact contours of the tumor, adjusting the intensity in different areas for greater accuracy.
IMRT is especially beneficial for treating complex cancers located near critical structures, such as head and neck cancers, prostate cancer, and breast cancer. By delivering higher doses of radiation directly to the tumor, we can achieve better control over the cancer while reducing side effects like damage to healthy organs. This approach offers our patients a more targeted, effective treatment with fewer complications, ensuring faster recovery and better overall outcomes.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS)

Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) is a highly precise, non-invasive radiation therapy designed to treat small, well-defined tumors, often in areas that are difficult to reach with conventional surgery. Despite its name, SRS is not a traditional surgery, but rather a method that delivers a high dose of radiation in a single or limited number of sessions, specifically targeting the tumor with millimeter accuracy.
SRS is most commonly used to treat brain tumors, both cancerous and benign, as well as other cancers that have spread to the brain (metastases). At JJ Cancer Center, our expert radiation oncologists use advanced imaging techniques to pinpoint the exact location of the tumor, ensuring that the surrounding healthy brain tissue is spared from radiation. The precision of SRS allows us to treat tumors that may be inoperable due to their location or size, offering patients a highly effective, minimally invasive option with quicker recovery times and fewer side effects.

Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT)

Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT) is similar to SRS but differs in that it delivers radiation over multiple sessions, typically in 3 to 5 treatments. This approach is ideal for larger tumors or tumors located near sensitive structures where delivering a single high-dose radiation treatment would be too risky. SRT maintains the same high level of precision as SRS, using advanced imaging to focus the radiation beams solely on the cancerous tissue while sparing healthy areas.
At JJ Cancer Center, we use SRT to treat cancers in the brain, spine, lungs, and liver, among other sites. It is especially useful for treating tumors that may shift slightly between treatment sessions due to breathing or other body movements. By dividing the treatment into several sessions, SRT allows us to deliver a highly effective radiation dose while reducing the risk of complications. This approach ensures that patients receive a safe and potent treatment, with excellent tumor control and minimal side effects.

Brachytherapy

Brachytherapy is a form of internal radiation therapy where a radioactive source is placed directly inside or next to the tumor. This approach allows for a high dose of radiation to be delivered directly to the cancerous cells, with minimal exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. At JJ Cancer Center, we offer both high-dose-rate (HDR) and low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy, depending on the type of cancer being treated.
Brachytherapy is particularly effective for cancers such as cervical cancer, prostate cancer, and breast cancer, where localized radiation is needed. Our expert oncologists use advanced imaging to guide the placement of the radioactive sources with extreme precision. This allows for a highly targeted treatment that can be completed in fewer sessions compared to external radiation therapies. Brachytherapy offers our patients the benefit of quicker treatment times, fewer side effects, and, in many cases, the possibility of a cure for localized cancers.
