As leaders in cancer care, the Brown Cancer Center Radiation Oncologists strive to offer patients the world's most sophisticated cancer-fighting technology and most proven radiation treatment techniques available. Our radiation oncologists are not only experts in radiation therapy, many specialize in a specific type of cancer. We work with physicists and technologists to plan the precise delivery of the radiation to minimize radiation to vital organs and maximize the radiation to the area affected by cancer. Our radiation oncologists are an integral part of multidisciplinary cancer teams that come together to develop tailored treatment plans for each cancer patient based on type of cancer, stage, lifestyle needs and overall health. Patients receiving radiation therapy are also served by the radiotherapy team, which includes physicians, nurses, technicians, a social worker, a dietitian and a chaplain.
