Knox County Radiation Therapy
State-of-the-Art Radiation Oncology Technology Can Be Found at Good Samaritan
Good Samaritan offers state-of-the-art Radiation Therapy close to home
because we understand how important it is for patients facing cancer to
have the encouragement and support of family and friends nearby. Radiation
therapy is a common treatment for cancer and is used in more than half
of all cancer cases. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to destroy
cancer. Our Radiation Oncology department uses the most up-to-date equipment
and radiation practices, including:
- Two Linear Accelerators: Varian Trilogy™ and IX™
- CT Simulator with 4D-CT tumor localization for compensation of respiratory position
- Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) utilzing cone beam CT and AlignRT™
optical surface monitoring for accurate treatment delivery
- Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and Volumetric Arc therapy
(VMAT) utilizing rotational beam
- Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT)
- Deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) technique to reduce heart dose for
breast patients
- High Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy
Our highly-skilled, board certified staff includes radiation therapists,
nurses, radiation oncologists, medical physicist, and dosimetrist, all
of whom consistently exceed expectations in patient satisfaction. The
primary goal of the radiation oncology team at Good Samaritan is to treat
each patient with care and compassion they deserve. What sets us apart
from other facilities with Radiation Oncology treatment capabilities is
that all of our staff makes their homes and lives in Knox County or other
close by communities. This is where we not only work, it is where we live
and care for our neighbors, friends and family members with whom we have
real, personal connections. We truly care about and are invested in our
patient’s outcomes and experiences on a personal level.
