At MedStar Washington Hospital Center, our radiation oncology team provides safe, innovative, and personalized therapies to treat a wide range of cancerous and noncancerous tumors. We are also part of MedStar Georgetown Cancer Institute – pioneers in evidence-based therapies and breakthrough clinical trials.
Our compassionate specialists offer comprehensive care tailored to meet your specific prevention, diagnosis, and treatment needs. We combine clinical expertise with advanced technologies to optimize your health and healing. Some of our cutting-edge therapies that safely attack tumors while sparing healthy tissue include:
- Varian RapidArc Radiotherapy – a groundbreaking therapy that precisely tracks the movement of prostate, lung, brain, spine, head, and neck tumors in real-time while physicians precisely deliver radiation.
- Stereotactic Radiotherapy – an innovative therapy that pinpoints and destroys small brain, lung, and prostate tumors from different strategic angles.
- Brachytherapy – an advanced therapy that places radioactive materials in the heart vessel, cervix, vagina, and uterus to shrink or eliminate tumors.
Your convenience and comfort are also important to us. That’s why we offer parking validation and an onsite pharmacy. Our lobby also has fresh flowers that have been delivered weekly for the past 20+ years, thanks to a kindhearted patient donation.
Let our team provide you with healing and hope. With flexible schedules to accommodate your busy life, contact us today at 202-877-3925 for an appointment.
