Our Mission

About Radation Oncology Institute

 

The Radiation Oncology Institute is recognized as the premier cancer program in our area because of our comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to patient care. We provide our patients with the individualized attention they need, combining compassionate, personalized medical management with the latest state of the art technology.  Our staff is experienced in the most advanced approaches to treatment, without losing sight of our focus on the needs of our patients, their comfort and quality of life.

Our patients often receive other treatments such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or surgery as well as radiation therapy. To ensure the best possible outcome, this multi-disciplinary approach requires collaboration and coordination among the specialists on a patient's treatment team. Therefore, during your first visit you will meet with your radiation oncologist. He/She may consult with any other specialists as necessary before your treatment begins to determine the best course of action for you. In addition, other members of the Cancer Team such as the Physicist, Dosimetrist, Radiation Nurse and Radiation Therapists may be brought in to better help plan your optimal course of treatment and to assist you in successfully managing your care.

The major goal of radiation therapy is to maximize cancer cure while minimizing side effects. Because each patient's case presents unique challenges and requires individualized attention, we urge you to consult with your radiation oncologist about which treatment plan is best for you. It is extremely important to seek out an expert Cancer Team who specializes in your type of cancer to insure optimal outcome.  You often have only one chance to be treated successfully for your cancer, so it is most important to choose the right facility the first time.
