About Us
The Cumberland Medical Center Radiation Therapy
Center aims to combine the latest in technological advances and
emotional support to deliver top quality care. In order to provide
this care, the center works with all physicians, medical oncologists
and surgical specialties to provide radiation to all eligible patients.
The Radiation Therapy Center’s linear accelerator, simulator,
treatment planning system, and customized block fabrication are
professionally and expertly used by our skilled and caring medical
team. This technology is a powerful tool in the fight against cancer.
Cumberland Medical Center provides permanent prostate
brachytherapy seed implants. The radiation oncologist coordinates
this procedure with the referring urologist and the surgery department.
Cumberland Medical Center also provides outpatient radioactive iodine
treatment.
Cumberland Medical Center's Cancer Program provides
a team approach with monthly multi-disciplinary cancer conferences.
Physicians and ancillary hospital personnel who manage cancer patients
discuss cancer, its discovery, evaluation, treatment and follow-up.
These sessions are invaluable tools that promote better education
and communication concerning cancer.
Cancer can affect all aspects of a patient's life.
In addition to quality medical care, Cumberland Medical Center offers
a growing number of services to our patients and their families,
including support groups, spiritual services, home health care services,
and accommodation assistance. Additionally, our personalized care
includes providing information and education in order to fully inform
our patients about their health status.
