Radiation Oncology at Ogden Clinic

Radiation Oncology is a vital part of our comprehensive Cancer Treatment Team at Ogden Clinic. This specialty uses precisely targeted, carefully controlled doses of high-energy radiation, such as X-rays or photons, to destroy cancer cells or treat certain noncancerous conditions, including Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Unlike chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy is a localized treatment. This means the radiation is directed only to the area where cancer is present, damaging cancer cell DNA and preventing those cells from growing or spreading. Radiation may be used as a stand-alone therapy or combined with other treatments like surgery or chemotherapy to improve outcomes.

Radiation Oncology can be used to treat a wide range of cancers, including:

• Breast Cancer
• Lymphomas
• Head and Neck Cancers
• Lung Cancer
• Pancreatic Cancer
