Midwest Radiation Oncology Consultants...compassionate, high-technology, radiation therapy.

At Midwest Radiation Oncology Consultants, patients are our first priority. Our philosophy of patient care centers around combining the most technologically advanced radiation treatments with a caring and compassionate environment that treats patients and not just a disease. We understand that the diagnosis of cancer, and it's treatment, can be a bewildering experience for patients and their families. As such, we feel it is our job to take the time to educate our patients and provide them with information that allows them to make informed decisions regarding their cancer treatment.

Our physicians specialize in the use of radiation therapy to treat cancer, and other selected diseases. The complexity of modern cancer care requires a team approach that often involves surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy to achieve the best outcomes. At all of our cancer treatment centers, patient's cases are discussed at multidisciplinary conferences where all doctors involved in a patient's cancer care collaborate to determine the best course of treatment. Our experience in operating in such an environment gives us a broad perspective regarding cancer care that is not limited to radiation therapy alone.

Midwest Radiation Oncology Consultants provides world-class, high technology, radiotherapy at all of our treatment centers. We perform precise, three-dimensional modeling of tumors using dedicated CT simulators to plan all radiation treatments. In addition, some of our facilities provide specialized technologies that can shape radiation beams into very complex shapes. These technologies allow curative doses of radiation to be delivered to cancerous tumors while sparing the surrounding normal tissues, as a result, the chance of tumor eradication is maximized while the chance of side effects from radiation treatments is minimized.
