At the Arnold Palmer Cencer Center, we are dedicated to creating a comfortable,
anxiety-free experience for each patient. Through an interdisciplinary
approach, we treat patients with a wide range of cancers, some of which
were considered inoperable. Our radiation therapy department offers state-of-the-art
technology, including PET/CT scans and Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy
(IMRT), offering pinpoint accuracy and sparing surrounding healthy tissue
from damage.
Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) targets the tumor, using computer-generated
images to plan and focus a highly precise dose of radiation to individually-targeted
sections of the tumor, so higher doses of radiation can be delivered to
more irregular tumor volumes.
Prior to treatment, the PET/CT may be used to detect small cancers even
before visible structural changes become evident, providing more data
in less time and leading to faster, more accurate diagnosis, treatment
planning, and treatment monitoring.
Most importantly, our goal is not only to treat the cancer, but to care
for the patient and his family in a healing, positive environment
Radiation Robes and More
Robes handmade by cancer care volunteers have replaced hospital gowns for
women undergoing radiation therapy.
