Soft Tissue & Bone Tumors
Overview
The Radiation Oncology Sarcoma program provides comprehensive expertise and cutting-edge radiation therapy to patients with a wide spectrum of benign and malignant bone and soft tissue diseases using a number of treatment modalities.
Our clinicians are focused on innovation, groundbreaking research and improving quality of life for our patients.
Clinical Services and Special Programs
- Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) or volumetric modulated arc therapy: Highly targeted conformal techniques employed in a variety of anatomic sites to reduce dose to critical organs and tissues.
- Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT): Daily cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is the cornerstone of our image-guidance practice. CBCT aids in daily alignment and is particularly useful when treating sarcomas near highly critical structures such as the lungs and the spine.
- Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT): This approach is used to deliver a greater dose of radiation over a course of fewer treatments. Short courses of high dose radiation can safely be delivered to sites of metastatic disease such as lung, liver or other body sites (when appropriate), and may sometimes be an alternative to surgery.
Multidisciplinary Treatment Approach
GSRO's Sarcoma Program, specializes in the treatment of malignant and benign tumors. Here, our radiation oncologists collaborate with your entire treatment team, which may include medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, orthopedic oncologists, diagnostic and interventional radiologists and sarcoma pathologists.
