Radiation Therapy
If you are diagnosed with cancer, you may benefit from radiation therapy, which uses precisely targeted doses of high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells while preserving surrounding tissue and organs.
At Tidelands Health Cancer Care Network, our highly experienced, board-certified radiation oncologists provide expert care close to home.
We offer a multidisciplinary, team-based approach to radiation therapy. Your care team may include radiation therapists, dosimetrists, physicists, nurses and more, depending on your treatment.
The team works closely with other specialists, including medical oncologists, surgeons and other clinical specialists, to deliver care tailored to you and your unique condition. We couple state-of-the-art cancer-fighting technology and techniques with the compassion and expertise of our medical staff to help you achieve the best possible outcomes.
