Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy is a type of cancer treatment which helps shrink your tumor and kill cancer cells. It is done by using high-energy beams which are focused on cancer cells while avoiding damage to the surrounding tissue as much as possible.

UMGCCC radiation oncology experts provide a full range of advanced radiation therapies, including the latest technology available to treat all types of cancer.

We work closely with specialists in medical oncology and surgical oncology as part of multidisciplinary teams. This collaborative approach allows us to provide each patient with a customized treatment plan suited to his or her particular disease.

Our goal is to offer the most advanced treatment options available to help our patients fight a winning battle against cancer.

With locations throughout Maryland, we can offer you access to the latest treatments, pioneering clinical trials and expert consultation on treatment plans no matter where you live.
