Radiation Oncology in Arizona

Specialty Groups

At Mayo Clinic in Arizona, radiation oncologists work with doctors in other specialties to design a course of treatment appropriate for your type of cancer.

Teams of specialists are organized based on the location of the cancer. Board-certified radiation oncologists are members of each disease site team, such as:

• Breast
• Central nervous system (brain, neurological)
• Gastrointestinal (anus, colon, rectum, esophagus, hepatobiliary, pancreas, stomach)
• Genitourinary (bladder, kidney, prostate, testis)
• Gynecologic (cervix, ovary, uterus, vulva)
• Head and neck
• Lung
• Lymphoma, leukemia
• Melanoma, other skin cancers
• Sarcoma (bone, soft tissue, abdominal)

Each disease site team is independent, but all teams work together to develop diagnostic and treatment algorithms (step-by-step procedures) and guidelines for patient evaluation and care.
