The Radiation Oncology department of JFK Medical Center offers a full range of radiotherapy services to the community. Together, the caring, compassionate staff of physicians, radiation therapists, oncology nurses, physicists, counselors and dieticians deliver personal and professional patient-focused care. Our radiation team works closely with the medical oncologist to coordinate patient treatment plans. The JFK Radiation Oncology department provides state-of-the-art services such as sophisticated 3D treatment plans, Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), 3D Conformal Radiation Therapy, Zevalin intravenous infusions, high dose brachytherapy, two high energy linear accelerators with electron capability, prostate seed implants, stereotactic radiosurgery, Strontium 89 intravenous infusions and Phosphorous-32 intravenous infusions. The radiation oncologists and physicists work together with the neuroscience team to provide Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery. This advanced technology uses precisely focused radiation beams to treat certain brain tumors, vascular malformations and trigeminal neuralgia without invasive surgery. JFK Medical Center is the only facility in the state to provide this valuable treatment option. The radiation oncologists at JFK Medical Center participate in interdisciplinary research to seek means to improve cancer treatments and improve the quality of life during treatment. The Regional Cancer Center at JFK is an affiliate of the Cancer Institute of NJ, accredited by the American College of Radiology, and participates in RTOG and ECOG research studies. Preliminary studies and discoveries in research offer a greater promise to improve the outcome of patient survival.
