 The most advanced oncology radiation delivery system is now available at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA). The TomoTherapy HI-ART System offers the most precise delivery method to tumor sites while minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
The arrival of this cutting-edge technology means new hope for many cancer patients, and treatment options for many who would otherwise be untreatable.

TomoTherapy provides radiation from 360 degrees, increasing efficiency and minimizing side effects. Before each treatment, the system makes a blueprint of the tumor site to pinpoint its exact size, shape, and location. Once the treatment begins, the radiation beam rotates 360 degrees while the patient enters the system in a comfortable, reclined position. This allows for accurately shaped radiation as prescribed by the physician, successfully treating both large tumors and multiple sites at the same time. Unlike other radiation therapies, the integrated system does not require patient transfer, containing all patient information in a central unit to minimize errors.
The breakthrough technology is invaluable for patients who otherwise would be untreatable because they reached their maximum tolerable dose of traditional radiation or have tumors insensitive areas.
