Our Facilities

Department of Radiation Oncology

The Department of Radiation Oncology at Continuum Cancer Centers of New York is recognized among the largest and most sophisticated centers in the country. Our world-renowned, highly skilled specialists and innovative technology attract patients from around the world.

To provide patients with the individualized attention they need, our staff is experienced in the most advanced approaches to treatment. In addition, we offer technologically superior facilities to provide the best care possible.

The Radiation Oncology Program at Continuum Cancer Centers of New York is celebrated as a premier program due to our comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to care. Cancer patients often receive other treatments — chemotherapy, hormone therapy or even surgery — while they undergo radiation oncology. To ensure the best possible outcome, our multidisciplinary approach is built on collaboration and coordination among the specialists on a patient's treatment team.

During your first visit, you will meet with your radiation oncologist and a nurse practitioner. Your radiation oncologist may consult with other specialists as necessary before your treatment begins to determine the best course of action. In addition, other members of the Cancer Support Services Program may be brought in to help you successfully manage your treatment.

The major goal of radiation oncology is to maximize cure while maintaining optimal organ function and quality of life. Because each patient's case presents unique challenges and requires individualized attention, we urge you to consult your personal physician about which treatment plan is best for you. It is extremely important to seek out an expert team of physicians who specialize in your type of cancer to ensure an optimal outcome.
