The Future of Cancer Care
The Stephenson Cancer Center at University of Oklahoma Medical Center has unveiled a revolutionary treatment for cancer patients, making them the second hospital in the nation to implement surface-guided radiation therapy. This cutting-edge technology is known as the Accuray Radixact System, which is redefining the way cancer care is administered.
Precision Like Never Before
The Radixact System offers a non-invasive solution, bringing speed and precision to cancer treatment. By using image-guided intensity-modulated radiation therapy, it allows for highly accurate targeting of tumors, reducing the impact on healthy surrounding tissues. This advancement is particularly promising for patients with tumors in complex locations, such as the lungs or near vital organs.
Personalized Treatment for Every Patient
“Every advancement in cancer treatment technology means new hope for our patients,” emphasizes Jerry Jaboin, M.D., a radiation oncologist at the center. The Radixact System opens up a world of possibilities, providing patients with tailored treatment plans that are both precise and less disruptive to their everyday lives.
Real-Time Tumor Tracking
One of the standout features of this technology is its ability to track tumors in real-time. This ensures that any changes in tumor size are immediately accounted for, allowing for modifications in treatment on-the-go. The result is a more personalized and dynamic approach to patient care.
A Leap Forward in Oncology
As stated in American Hospital Association, the implementation of the Radixact System at the Stephenson Cancer Center represents a significant leap forward in oncology. This technology not only improves outcomes but also enhances the quality of life for cancer patients, making treatments faster and more comfortable.
Continuing to Innovate
The Stephenson Cancer Center is committed to continuing their pursuit of innovation in cancer care, transforming hope into reality for countless patients and their families. With the Radixact System, they are poised to lead the charge in offering cutting-edge, compassionate care.
