Thompson at Methodist is the only facility in the area treating lung, cervical, uterine and vaginal cancer with high-dose-rate brachytherapy, so patients have fewer side effects, shorter treatment times and less risk of exposure to their families and caregivers. The 120-leaf collimator at Thompson at Methodist is the latest, most accurate static intensity-modulated radiation therapy system in the area. It targets cancer with incredible precision, delivering a high dose of radiation to the tumor with minimum damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The chest clinic at Thompson at Methodist has a coordinated, expedited process to confirm each patient's diagnosis and agree upon the treatment plan within a week of the original referral, so treatment can begin without delay. |
