Areas of specialization include brain, breast, colon/colorectal, dermatology, gynecology, liver, lung, neurological, prostate, thoracic and urology as well as others.
Radiology plays a critical role in the diagnosis and staging of all types of cancer. The radiologists employ sophisticated, computerized imaging studies, sonographic modalities and interventional procedures as well as standard radiographic techniques like MRI, CT and PET. Standout therapies include SmartBeam IMRT, Prostate Seed Implant Radiation Therapy, Multileaf Collimator (MLC) and genetic testing.
Medical oncologists focus on diagnosis, establishing a plan of treatment and evaluating results throughout the treatment plan. Treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, biological therapy, stem cell therapy, hormonal therapy, antibody therapy or other investigational therapies. Surgical oncology is a main line of attack in the battle against some cancers.
