Services

The following radiation therapy modalities are offered:

Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) using the Varian Trilogy with RapicArc capability.
Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) using 3D imaging for precise localization to correct for subtle changes to tumor location during treatment with millimeter precision.
Xoft® Electronic Brachytherapy System delivers Isotope-free radiation treatment for use anywhere in the body, including for the treatment of early-stage breast cancer, endometrial cancer and skin cancer.
Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) delivering high-dose precision radiation to small areas in one to five treatments. This is commonly used for brain, lung, bone and liver tumors.
Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT) for early stage breast cancer delivering a single treatment at the time of surgery using electron beam therapy with Mobetron.
High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy for breast and gynecologic malignancies.

Radiation Oncology at Providence St. Joseph Orange

At Providence, our top-ranked cancer care specialists use image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) to treat many different types of cancers. IGRT allows doctors to control cancerous tumors from spreading by using X-rays to locate the tumors and delivering more accurate, high-dose radiation to shrink them. This treatment lowers the risk of exposing your body to radiation or harming any of your vital organs. IGRT also minimizes any side effects to healthy surrounding tissue.

With our world-class radiation therapies, you can be confident that Providence will bring you the most effective cancer treatment. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is an advanced treatment that sends precise radiation beams to cancerous tumors in affected areas such as the breast, prostate, lung, brain, and many others. IMRT uses 3D imaging to mimic the tumor’s size, shape, and location. This treatment is applied over several short and pain-free sessions.

At Providence, our expert oncologists use leading-edge and effective treatments to minimize risks and maximize results. Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) is a common treatment for many different types of cancers including breast, bladder, prostate, and many more. IORT is applied during surgery while cancerous tumors are being removed. Doctors use IORT to send a high dosage of radiation to directly to cancer cells to destroy them and shrink tumors. This is an alternative treatment to external radiation therapy.

Doctors at Providence use stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to treat various types of tumors, including metastatic tumors, benign tumors, and abnormal blood vessel formations. SRS is a non-surgical therapy that beams high doses of radiation to tumors with millimeter accuracy. This cancer treatment is highly effective and can treat tumors faster than alternative methods. There’s also no need for anesthesia, which helps you recover as quickly and fully as possible.
