Internal Local Radiation Therapy

TUCC provides low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy as a therapy option for some prostate cancer patients. In addition, a combination of brachytherapy and external beam therapy (EBRT) may be used in certain situations.

External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT)

When TUCC oncology patients need external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), we treat them using the Elekta Versa HD™ linear accelerator (Versa HD). Versa HD helps minimize the risk of side effects; it is specially designed to visualize and track the target cancer site and surrounding critical structures.

With Versa HD, TUCC delivers the most advanced radiation therapy techniques while setting the standard in patient safety. These techniques include: 

  • Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)
  • Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT)
  • Volumetric arc therapy (VMAT)
  • Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)
