Radiation Therapy

Targeted Treatment with Fewer Side Effects

Radiation therapy uses high-energy particles, such as photons and electrons, to destroy cancer cells and help shrink tumors in different parts of the body. The radiation causes irreparable damage to the DNA of cancer cells, causing cell death. While radiation can also damage healthy cells nearby, healthy cells have the ability to repair themselves.

Radiation therapy can be used to treat many types of cancer. Your radiation oncologist will work with you to develop a treatment plan uniquely tailored to your needs.

At St. Luke's Cancer Institute, we offer you leading radiation techniques and technology, as well as a team of skilled, compassionate experts treating your cancer and offering support and encouragement for you and your family throughout your cancer journey.
