New radiation therapies have greatly enhanced our ability to treat
cancer more effectively. Today, more than half of patients with cancer
are treated with radiation therapy—the careful use of high-energy
radiation to destroy cancer cells in the body. At the Cancer
Center of Paoli Hospital, new advances in radiation oncology now
enable us to more precisely target tumors, minimizing treatment side
effects and offering faster results than ever before. The result is a
more aggressive approach to cancer treatment with improved quality of
life.
Our state-of-the-art Radiation Oncology Center combines sophisticated
technology with compassionate care and comfort. We employ the latest in
treatment technology and amenities that increase patient comfort and
privacy. Our facility offers convenient, free parking, a private
entrance for radiation patients, extended hours and comforting treatment
areas. In addition, we work closely with the local American Cancer
Society to assist patients with transportation needs.
Unmatched Clinical Expertise
