Cancer Treatment - Radiation Therapy/Oncology

 

 

Redlands Community Hospital recognizes that in the fight against cancer, the best defense is a great offense.  Early detection is the key, and our Radiology Department plays a significant role.  

 

Using a more powerful type of radiation than regular x-rays, the goal of radiation therapy is to destroy cancer cells (unlike the rest of the radiology department where detection is the goal). RCH recently finished a $2 million dollar upgrade in equipment to better serve the community. The typical patient will have a CT exam to locate the tumor or lesion. This information is used to map the afflicted area so the physician can treat the specific area with less damage to the surrounding tissue.
