Radiation Therapy
- Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT): Uses high-energy, computer-controlled X-rays to deliver precise doses of radiation to malignant tumors.
- High-dose Rate Brachytherapy: Delivers higher doses of radiation in fewer sessions, sparing healthy tissue and reducing side effects.
- Linear Accelerator: Produces photons that can be precisely targeted to treat tumors while sparing healthy tissue.

Varian TrueBeam System
World’s Most Advanced Cancer Treatment Technology
Resurrection Medical Center for Cancer has a Varian TrueBeam device, the world’s most advanced cancer treatment technology, offering cancer-fighting technology and expertise that is on a par with top-ranked cancer centers nationwide. This highly sophisticated surgical robot delivers radiation therapy with extraordinary detail and precision to treat tumors. TrueBeam delivers cancer-destroying doses directly to a tumor with such tremendous accuracy that it protects surrounding healthy tissue. And in many cases, the TrueBeam can deliver its entire treatment in less than two minutes per day, meaning fewer side effects for patients.
TrueBeam synchronizes a beam system that provides the beams of radiation for treatment to an imaging system and allows doctors to see a 3D image of the tumor they’re treating. It also has sophisticated respiratory monitoring systems as it targets the tumor. Because treatment delivery is noninvasive, there is no incision or surgery with TrueBeam. The ability to deliver higher doses of radiation at great speed allows most treatments to be given in just minutes a day.
An entire treatment planning system is included with the TrueBeam technology. The flow of information about a cancer patient’s radiation and medical treatment care path is complete. It’s all there in the electronic record, from consult to tumor modeling, treatment and follow-up. When physicians don’t have to interpret information, then a patient’s treatment and safety is enhanced.
At Resurrection Medical Center, a team of radiation oncologists, surgeons and internal medicine physicians collaborate to develop a strategy for every patient’s treatment.
Features include:
- HyperArc and RapidArc techniques for a broad range of cancer cases
- Respiration-synchronized imaging (MV/kV radiographs, 4D CBCT, Iterative CBCT)
- Maestro synchronous control system for seamless operation
- Built-in safety features and improved image acquisition for treatment planning
- Perfect Pitch 6 degrees of freedom couch for optimal patient positioning
- High-speed treatment delivery, often completed in under two minutes per session
- Integrated treatment planning and electronic medical record systems for enhanced safety and accuracy
