Radiation Oncology
Making a Difference with Experience and TechnologyA powerful weapon in the battle against many types of cancer, radiation uses high-energy rays or particles to kill cancer cells.
As one of Florida’s most experienced radiotherapy teams, Florida Hospital Cancer Institute specialists treat more than 3,500 patients, delivering more than 200,000 radiation procedures each year. And you can rest assured knowing that our team delivers the right radiation treatment for you, using precise, sophisticated radiation therapy technologies.
During your first visit, one of our radiation oncologists will review your medical history and perform a physical examination to:
1. Determine the extent of the disease.
2. Explain the benefits of radiation therapy in the management of your cancer in conjunction with other medical specialists.
We will then work with your referring physician and a team of cancer specialists to create your specific course of treatment, discuss alternatives and explain potential side effects or complications you may experience as a result of your radiation therapy.
In addition, you won’t have to travel far from home because we provide radiation therapy services at four convenient Florida Hospital locations, including Deland, Fish Memorial, Flagler and Memorial Medical Center in Ormond Beach.
