About Our Radiation Oncology Services

Within our hospital, our radiation oncology services stand as a cornerstone in the comprehensive care we provide for cancer patients. Our team of skilled radiation oncologists employs advanced technologies and treatment modalities to precisely target and eradicate cancer cells while minimizing impact on healthy tissues. From intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to stereotactic radiosurgery, our state-of-the-art facilities enable us to deliver highly effective and individualized treatments. We prioritize a multidisciplinary approach, collaborating closely with medical oncologists, surgeons, and support staff to ensure seamless integration of radiation therapy into each patient’s overall care plan. Our commitment extends beyond treatment, encompassing ongoing monitoring, counseling, and support services to address the diverse needs of our patients throughout their cancer journey. In our radiation oncology department, we strive to combine expertise with empathy, providing not only cutting-edge technology but also a compassionate and supportive environment for individuals undergoing radiation therapy.

GRMC’s Radiation Oncology department uses the latest technologies which enable our specialists to treat cancerous cells with pinpoint accuracy and minimal damage to healthy tissues. Radiation therapy can damage normal cells, leading to side effects.
