Radiation Oncology
The Radiation Oncology Department at J. Phillip Citta Regional Cancer Center is accredited
by the American College of Radiation Oncology (ACRO) which offers a full array of radiation oncology services including external beam three dimensional (3D) conformal radiation therapy, high-rate dose and low-dose rate brachytherapy, intensity modulated and image guided radiation therapy (IMRT and IGRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery.
Our department of radiation oncology has the latest technology technologies in computer-assisted precision targeting of tumors, avoiding healthy tissues and organs, which minimizes side effects. A new, state-of-the-art wide bore CT Simulator assists with complex treatment planning combining fluoroscopic like x-ray films with rapid spiral CT scanning. This equipment decreases patient simulation (set-up time) to 30 minutes.
More Cancer patients are treated here at CMC than any other radiation oncology department in Ocean or Monmouth County. The radiation oncology team consists of Board Certified Radiation Oncologists, and Physicists. Nurses who specialize in oncology, Registered Radiation Therapists, Licensed Clinical Social Workers and a front office staff dedicated to meeting the complex needs of the patient complete the patient care team. This multidisciplinary effort ensures total medical, emotional, and psychological care of the patient before, during and after treatment.
