Cancer That Has Spread to Bone
When cancer reaches the bone it can be painful. Radiation is one of the most reliable ways to settle that pain, often in a single visit or a short course, and it can also strengthen a bone at risk of breaking.

Lymphoma and Other Cancers
Radiation therapy plays an important role in lymphoma and sarcoma, and in cancer that has spread from where it started to sites other than bone.
Lymphomas, sarcomas, other metastatic cancers

Precision radiation therapy, personalized to your cancer.
No two cancers, and no two patients, are exactly alike. Your radiation oncologist considers the type and location of your cancer, its stage, previous treatments, your overall health and the recommendations of the other physicians involved in your care before developing a treatment plan.
Advanced techniques
IMRT, SBRT, image-guided radiation therapy and other advanced approaches for highly precise treatment.
Personalized plans
Treatment is tailored to your diagnosis, your goals and your unique situation, and checked before anything is delivered.
Palliative care
Palliative radiation can help relieve symptoms and improve quality of life when that is the right aim.
Multidisciplinary care
Ongoing collaboration with your entire care team, so decisions are made together rather than in isolation.
Sometimes radiation is not the first step.
Our goal is not simply to deliver radiation. It is to help determine where radiation fits into your overall cancer treatment. Depending on your diagnosis, the best approach may be radiation therapy, surgery, systemic therapy, active surveillance or a combination of treatments. Our physicians work with you and the other members of your care team to help determine the appropriate path forward.
