Radiation Oncology

Exceptional Radiation Oncology Team

A full Radiation Oncology program and team are located at the Caritas Cancer Center in Foxboro . Staff members include radiation oncologists, physicists, dosimetrist, radiation oncology nurses and therapists, nutritionist and administrative personnel.

Personalized Care and Treatment Options   The depart-ment features a Varian linear accelerator that allows us to provide the most current treatment options, which includes 3D conformal and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). With the aid of a CT scanner, the radiation oncologist and the oncologist’s staff work together to customize a precise treatment plan for each patient that will give a uniform radiation dose to the tumor site and at the same time decrease the dose to healthy tissues and organs, causing fewer side effects.

The Radiation Oncology Department is supported by an impressive array of imaging equipment and capability at the Caritas Cancer Center, including CT and PET Scanning.
