Advanced diagnosis and treatment

Mayo Clinic healthcare professionals in radiation oncology tailor treatment to you. Radiation therapy is carefully planned. First, the radiation oncologist identifies the areas of cancer to be treated. Then, therapy is simulated before actual treatment. This minimizes the dose of radiation to healthy tissue.
