The technology star at the Memorial Cancer Center is Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT). IGRT is recognized as one of the most recent advancements in radiation therapy treatment.

IGRT allows physicians to best target a tumor or mass inside the body. During each visit, our experts are able to see exactly where the tumor is and how it is positioned. With this therapy it is possible to treat various types of tumors and reduce a patient's overall exposure to radiation.
