The aim of radiation therapy is to deliver a precisely measured dose of irradiation to a defined tumor volume with minimal distress to surrounding normal tissue, resulting in eradication of the tumor, a higher quality of life, and prolongation of survival. There are several irradiation modalities available for the effective treatment of the disease: external beam radiation therapy, high dose rate (HDR) and low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy, total body irradiation (TBI), unfractionated and fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS/T), and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). The Department of Radiation Oncology now offers the full spectrum of these modalities utilizing the newest, most advanced three-dimensional radiation therapy techniques.
