Patients rate his ability to answer questions as excellent and his follow-up responsiveness as very positive. He works collaboratively with medical oncologists, surgeons, and other specialists to provide integrated cancer care.
Detailed Services Include:
-
Radiation Oncology Consultations: Comprehensive evaluation of newly diagnosed or recurrent cancer, including review of pathology, imaging (CT, MRI, PET), and discussion of whether radiation therapy is appropriate.
-
Treatment Planning (Simulation): Detailed mapping of the treatment area using CT, MRI, or PET imaging to precisely target cancer cells while sparing nearby organs.
-
External Beam Radiation Therapy: Non-invasive delivery of high-energy X-rays or protons to destroy cancer cells, typically given over multiple sessions (fractions).
-
Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT): Advanced form of EBRT that modulates radiation beam intensity to conform more precisely to tumor shape, reducing side effects.
-
Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT): Use of daily imaging before each treatment to ensure accurate targeting, especially for tumors that may move (e.g., lung, prostate).
-
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT): Highly precise, high-dose radiation delivered in fewer sessions (typically 1-5) for small, localized tumors (lung, liver, spine, prostate).
-
Palliative Radiation: Short-course radiation to relieve pain, reduce tumor pressure, or prevent fractures in patients with metastatic cancer.
-
Follow-Up Care: Regular monitoring after treatment completion, including imaging and physical exams, to assess response, manage late side effects, and detect recurrence early.
-
Patient & Family Education: Clear, compassionate explanations of how radiation works, expected side effects (fatigue, skin changes), and strategies to maintain quality of life during and after treatment.
