Treatment Therapies

Radiation therapy is widely used to target and treat tumors in a wide array of diseases.  Radiation therapy can be used in the treatment of breast and prostate cancers, gynecological cancer, as well as cancers of the brain, head and neck, colorectal malignancies and lung cancer.

Newer, better designed equipment today enables physicians to more accurately target malignancies and to spare more of the surrounding healthy tissue, thereby making treatment easier and recovery faster.  Shields Radiation Oncology centers are equipped with the best and most advanced radiation delivery systems available, capable of targeting malignancies even through the patient’s motion of breathing.
