Tampa Bay Cancer Center provides patients with some of the most advanced technologies available
to treat cancer. Some of the treatments and technologies available at Tampa Bay Cancer Center include: Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) – a sophisticated type of external beam radiotherapy which allows
delivery of precisely targeted radiation beams to tumors, while sparing the surrounding healthy organs and tissues. Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) - A radiation treatment guided by imaging equipment, such as CT, ultrasound
or X-rays, taken in the treatment room just before radiation is given. During IGRT, the images are used as a final check to
ensure accurate placement of the radiation treatment. Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D-CRT) – a sophisticated set of computer assisted tomography
scans (CT or CAT scans) and/or magnetic resonance imaging scans (MR or MRI scans) that create detailed, three-dimensional
representations of tumors and surrounding organs for precise delivery of radiation beams to the exact size and shape of the
tumor. High Dose Rate Brachytherapy (HDR) – an innovative form of internal radiotherapy that places radioactive materials
directly in contact with cancer tissues using catheters or wires, which are then removed when a curative dose has been delivered
to the cancer. This comprehensive, aggressive approach to treatment ensures the maximum radiation dose is given where you
need it most, while sparing the healthy surrounding tissue. Prostate Seed Implants – rice-sized “seeds” of radioactive material that are placed into a cancerous
prostate. Seeds can be left in place permanently, as they give off radiation for a specific period of time (weeks or months),
and do not need to be removed once the radiation is gone. Due to their high success rate, prostate seed implants are an alternative
to radical surgery, and are one of the most popular radiation procedures in the United States. MammoSite® Radiation Therapy System – a highly targeted procedure performed after a lumpectomy that uses
a catheter (or catheters) to insert a radiation seed directly into the breast for a few minutes, twice a day for five days.
After each treatment, the seed is removed and no radiation remains in the breast between treatments. .decimal® Compensator Technology System - Compensator-Based Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (CB-IMRT) is
an advanced method for delivering radiation to your patients’ tumors. Compensators modulate the fluence for a given
field with a single constant beam, thus there is no temporal variation, no fraction-to fraction variability, and no moving
parts. Compensators are precisely milled to the patient’s tumor size and shape from brass. Compensator-Based IMRT delivers
beam fluence that is steady with time and not subject to the temporal fluctuations of smaller sub-fields associated with MLCs.
For facilities that need to increase throughput and shorten planning time, treating with Compensator Based IMRT is advantageous. Calypso GPS for the Body® - technology provides accurate, precise, real-time tracking
to keep radiation focused on the tumor, not surrounding healthy tissue. The result? More radiation reaches the target to better
fight the cancer and patients report experiencing fewer side effects. LEARN MORE...
Tampa Bay Cancer Center also has access to CyberKnife® Stereotactic Radiosurgery
provided by Brandon CyberKnife, a member of Florida Cancer Physicians Network. CyberKnife is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment
option for both cancerous and non-cancerous tumors in many parts of the body. CyberKnife delivers beams of high dose radiation
to tumors with pinpoint accuracy and provides a new treatment option for those with inoperable or surgically complex tumors,
or those who may be looking for an alternative to surgery. VISIT BRANDON CYBERKNIFE WEBSITE
