East Jefferson Radiation Oncology

Advanced planning capacity

Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT): This advanced treatment technique allows higher sparing of healthy tissues while simultaneously enabling the delivery of larger levels of radiation to the area of treatment.
Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT): This imaging technique aids extremely accurate targeting of the cancer during each treatment.
Stereotactic Radio-Surgery (SRS): This highly specialized radiation therapy is used primarily for precision brain treatments.
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT): This specialized radiation therapy is used for precision lung and liver treatments.
Total Body Irradiation (TBI): This treatment procedure is used to prepare a body for bone marrow transplant.

Advanced Technical capacity

Image-guided High Dose-Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy: This is an innovative treatment technique for temporary placement of a radiation source either inside or adjacent to the area requiring treatment to ensure maximum radiation to the cancer.
- Including HDR Gynecologic Brachytherapy
Prostate brachytherapy
SpaceOAR
4D-CT Imaging: This advanced imaging technique captures both a cancer’s location and its motion due to breathing and is used in treatment planning of cancers in or near the lungs.
Treatment delivery with daily breath hold

Theranostic Programs:

Xofigo Injections: This may be a beneficial treatment for men who have prostate cancer that has spread to their bones only. This form of cancer is often resistant to other treatments and may show response to these radioactive injections.
Pluvicto: This targeted prostate cancer treatment is a radioactive medicine for someone with prostate cancer that has spread to other areas of the body. Pluvicto isn't a cure for cancer. But it can help some men live longer and slow the growth of their tumors.
Lutathera: This targeted therapy works by binding to somatostatin receptors on the surface of GEP-NET cells. Once bound, the drug releases radiation that damages and kills the cancer cells.
