Cancer Center Acquires Advanced Technology
Rochester, NY (PRWEB) May 21, 2007 -- Dr. Charles H. Albrecht, director of Finger Lakes Radiation Oncology Center in Clifton Springs, NY announced today that the center has been using the nomosSTAT Encore Serial Tomotherapy System for 6 months. "This equipment allows us to use Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) in patients with a wider variety of diseases. We have seen great improvement in side effects during treatment of pelvic malignancies and expect that these patients will have fewer long-term complications." IMRT makes it possible to precisely treat cancers which are surrounded by structures which must be protected, so that higher doses of radiation can be delivered with fewer side effects and complications. Nomos (North American Scientific) pioneered IMRT technology in the 1990s, and in 2000 Finger Lakes Radiation Oncology was the first center in the area to install the original Nomos system. The center started treating patients with the new equipment in November, 2006.
