Radiation Oncology Center
The Washington Radiation Oncology Center (ROC) opened in July 1984 providing
radiation therapy services to the Tri-City Area. The mission of the Washington
Radiation Oncology Center is to provide high-quality, cost-effective radiation
oncology services to all patients. The center maintains a caring and compassionate
atmosphere, utilizing state-of-the art technology and keeping abreast
of the latest developments.
The ROC offers patients access to leading-edge treatment planning and treatment
delivery systems offering the latest advances in radiation therapy. Technical
resources include:
-
Varian linear accelerator delivering dual-energy photon and electron therapy.
The accelerator is equipped with a 120-leaf multileaf collimator with
the capability of 3-D conformal radiation therapy, intensity-modulated
radiation therapy (IMRT) and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT).

- GE Lightspeed Plus CT
- Philips Pinnacle Treatment Planning System
These resources allow the ROC to develop treatment plans based on three-dimensional
images of the tumor and surrounding tissue. A dose of radiation can then
be prescribed and delivered with multidirectional beams that not only
improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the treatment but also limit
the dose and minimize injury to the surrounding tissues.
