Treatment
Report
If you are considering radiation therapy, you must first schedule a consultation with our radiation oncologist. Appointments for consultation are generally made in advance through your referring physician, however we accept self-referrals. Once it is determined you are a candidate for radiation therapy, our radiation therapist will work closely with you to schedule appointment times.
What to Expect
Report
Our New Patient Information Packet is available to download and complete online. New patients are requested to arrive at our office 15-30 minutes prior to their scheduled appointment for registration. Please be sure to bring current identification and a copy of your current insurance card. Medical records and diagnostic films have already been obtained from your referring physician. You will be interviewed by the nurse to obtain details of your medical history. The physician will begin the consultation with a physical exam.
Consultation
Report
Before your arrival, it is likely your case has been presented and discussed at Tumor Board. This is a multi-disciplined group of physicians (surgeons, medical & radiation oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, social worker, etc.) who meet on a regular basis to discuss upcoming cases. As a group, they discuss what the best approach to treatment is for each patient who is presented to the board. During your initial visit, the doctor will evaluate your need for radiation therapy and its likely results.
How to Prepare
Report
The process of measuring your anatomy and marking your skin to help your team direct the beams of radiation safely and exactly to their intended locations is called simulation. Although simulation is typically only one session, your physician may schedule additional sessions depending on the type of cancer you have and the type of radiation therapy that is being used.
