Your Treatment Plan

Benefit from our comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to care. During your first visit, you'll meet with your radiation oncologist (cancer doctor) and a cancer nurse. Your radiation oncologist may talk to other specialists to determine the best treatment plan. You may also receive other treatments, such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy or surgery.

Improved Accuracy for Better Results

You may benefit from AlignRT, a safe, noninvasive way to track your position before and during radiation therapy. To make treatment more accurate, it uses a 3D stereo camera to track the skin and compare it to the ideal position. The system can pause treatment if you move out of the right position. It can even reduce radiation damage to the heart in breast patients when used with the deep inspiration breath hold technique.

With this technology, you will not need a permanent tattoo to mark the spot for radiation therapy.

“In October 2014, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was 37 years old with no history of breast cancer in my family when my doctor found a lump. Dr. Nasr did an excellent job of explaining the BioZorb device to me. It was reassuring to know the radiation was targeted exactly where it needed to go. I’m doing great.”
