• Multidisciplinary cancer care: medical and radiation oncology services work together!
• RT team: 1 faculty, 2-3 residents, medical physicist, radiation techs, anesthetists, receptionist
About the service
1. We see new appointments and rechecks2. We manage radiation in- and out-patients
– Treatment schedules are 1 day to 4 weeks long
3. We make customized computer radiation treatment plans for each patient
