Usually used in conjunction with surgery, radiation therapy is a targeted therapy that is designed to kill cancer cells that may still be in the body. It can be used at the site of the original cancer or in areas where the cancer has spread.
 
In the Vasek Polak Radiation Oncology Department, women have access to the latest in radiation therapy technology such as the new Trilogy™ linear accelerator, which allows patients to receive higher-dose radiation treatments precisely targeted to the tumor in shorter sessions.

As a result, patients are more comfortable, healthy tissue is spared and outcomes are improved.
