The Radiation Oncology Division offers state-of-the-art planning and treatment for cancer, including 3-D modulation and brachytherapy.

Brachytherapy
The Urologic Oncology Division works closely with Radiation Oncology facilitating the brachytherapy program for prostate cancer. Brachytherapy, also called internal radiation, is an advanced cancer treatment that utilizes radioactive seeds or sources by placing them in or near the tumor itself. This enables a high dose of radiation to the tumor while reducing the radiation exposure to healthy tissue.
