Conditions Treated at Innovative Cancer Institute

The most common cancer treatment options provided by doctors and oncologists are surgery or chemotherapy, two quite traditional and invasive forms of treatment.
Surgery, which is a localized approach, removes the tumor and or surrounding area.
Chemotherapy is a broad approach, whereby chemicals treat the entire body in hopes of killing the cancer, but often with collateral damage, as is seen through the various and severe side effects.

However, there is a third approach which doctors often overlook – Radiation Therapy – a localized treatment option where high energy x-rays are directed to a certain part of the body. Radiation therapy is a completely safe and less invasive option that actually has far better rates at minimizing recurrence of cancer and has tremendous success with early-detected cancer patients. At the Innovative Cancer Institute we specialize in applying radiation therapy and radiosurgery to treat patients with various cancers.
