Northwest Cancer Clinic
The Best in Cancer Treatment Technology
Radiation Oncology at Northwest Cancer Clinic includes the most advanced radiation therapy technologies available to patients in Washington.
Radiation therapy is a commonly used tool to treat many types of cancer. It may be used as the only therapy or it is sometimes given in combination with surgery or chemotherapy. The goal of radiation treatment is to deliver high doses of radiation to cancer cells while limiting exposure to surrounding normal tissues.
To minimize side effects and preserve healthy tissue, our radiation oncologists use image-guided radiotherapy. This advanced technology also improves curability.
Specialized Cancer Care
At Northwest Cancer Clinic we treat all types of cancer, but we specialize in several common cancers that typically respond very well to radiation therapy. With these cancers, we work closely with your specialty physician (e.g. dermatologist, urologist, etc.) to ensure cooperative care so that you get the best and most comprehensive treatment possible.
Radiation for prostate cancer is one of the most effective treatments, and we offer several options for radiation treatment at the Northwest Cancer Clinic.
High dose rate brachytherapy, or HDR brachytherapy, is a highly effective treatment for skin cancer.
For glioblastoma and other brain tumors, radiation treatment can help shrink the tumor, slow its growth, or in some cases even eliminate it entirely.
Unlike surgery or chemotherapy, radiation focuses on a specific area, making it a precise and effective option for treating breast cancer.
Low-Dose Radiation Therapy for Benign Conditions
While radiotherapy is commonly known as a cancer treatment, low-dose radiotherapy is an excellent, non-invasive treatment option for many benign conditions. As the name suggests, this type of radiotherapy uses much smaller doses of radiation compared to what’s used for cancer treatments. This form of radiotherapy has been used to successfully treat conditions like arthritis, plantar fasciitis, Dupuytren’s, keloid scars, and more.
