| Chemotherapy at The Medical Park |
Chemotherapy (kee-mo-THER-a-pee) -- Treatment with anticancer drugs.
Radiation therapy (ray-dee-AY-shun) -- Treatment with high-energy rays (such as x-rays) to kill cancer cells. The radiation may come from outside the body (external radiation) or from radioactive materials placed directly in the tumor (implant radiation). Also called radiotherapy.
There are various forms of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Our board certified oncologists work with the patient to develop a personalized treatment plan dependent upon the type and stage of cancer the patient has. No two cancers are the same and Lima Memorial strives to determine effective treatment plans based upon the specific needs of each individual patient, from counseling to education.
