Mercy Radiation Oncology - Jefferson

Our radiation oncology team works closely with your medical oncologist and referring physician to provide the most effective treatment for your condition. Backed by years of research and experience, our providers use the latest technology to ensure the proper dosage and monitor your condition. We work with you one-one-one and are dedicated to helping you overcome this disease and resume your life.

How radiation oncology can help:

• Highly targeted radiation kills tumors.
• Maximum radiation is focused directly on the tumor, with less impact on healthy tissues and organs … and less side effects.
• Radiation may be used with other treatments, like chemotherapy, hormone therapy and immunotherapy, to fight against the growth of new cancer cells.
