Prigge Radiation Oncology Center provides patients with some of the most advanced treatment technologies available in the healthcare industry. Some of the treatments and technologies available at Prigge Radiation Oncology Center include:
-
Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) – a sophisticated type of external beam radiotherapy which allows delivery of precisely targeted radiation beams to tumors, while sparing the surrounding healthy organs and tissues.
-
Image Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT) – visualized CT scans that verify target locations immediately before treatment delivery. In conjunction with IMRT, this allows for unprecedented accuracy in delivering radiotherapy.
-
Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D-CRT) – a sophisticated set of computer assisted tomography scans (CT or CAT scans) and/or magnetic resonance imaging scans (MR or MRI scans) that create detailed, three-dimensional representations of tumors and surrounding organs for precise delivery of radiation beams to the exact
size and shape of the tumor.
-
High Dose Rate Brachytherapy (HDR) – an innovative form of internal radiotherapy that places radioactive materials directly
in contact with cancer tissues using catheters or wires, which are then removed when
a curative dose has been delivered to the cancer. This comprehensive, aggressive
approach to treatment ensures the maximum radiation dose is given where you need it
most, while sparing the healthy surrounding tissue.
-
Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation – a highly targeted procedure performed after
a lumpectomy that uses a catheter (or catheters) to insert a radiation seed directly into the
breast for a few minutes, twice a day for five days. After each treatment, the seed is
removed and no radiation remains in the breast between treatments.
