When the diagnosis is cancer, choose
the doctors other doctors recommend
for their expertise in TomoTherapy.°
21st Century Oncology in action
once again leading the way with
the latest technology for cancer treatment.
Dr. Jeffery Forman, Michigan regional
medical director for 21st Century Oncology,
Dr. Kay Miller, and Dr. Ahmed Ezz, specialize
in TomoTherapy®, a gentle, precise radiation
treatment. For example, it precisely targets
the lung's lining and not the lung itself. CT
scans for treatment planning are used to
pinpoint the exact location of the tumor for
delivery of radiation therapy.
"While radiation is an effective cancer treat-
ment, it sometimes carries with it undesirable
side effects," said Dr. Forman. "TomoTherapy®
helps to reduce or eliminate those side effects
by precisely targeting the affected area. This
preserves healthy surrounding tissue and
vital organs." Dr. Ezz explained that "Most
of our TomoTherapy® patients say they feel
good and are able to work and continue daily
activities during their treatments."
As leaders in TomoTherapy® treatment,
"we treat a variety of cancers including
prostate, breast, lung, pancreas and head
and neck tumors," explains Dr. Miller.
Tumors that were treated with conventional
external-beam radiation can also be treated
with TomoTherapy®.
