Guthrie board-certified radiation oncologists aim to reduce tumors by creating chemical changes within cancer cells. Because it is highly localized, radiation therapy produces limited side effects and is one of the most precise treatment options available.

Your radiation oncologist will provide you with options to help give you peace of mind amid cancer. No matter what type of radiation therapy may be most appropriate for you, you will be treated by board-certified radiation oncologists and a team of physicists, dosimetrists, radiation therapists and nurses will be there with you every step of the way.

Radiation therapy may be delivered in one of the following forms:

• Brachytherapy
• External Beam Therapy, including intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)
• Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT)
• 3D Conformal Radiation
• Prostate seed implantation
