SADLER CLINIC RADIATION THERAPY CENTER

comes to cancer treatment, patients seek the most comprehensive care available.
With the introduction of Montgomery County's first Elekta Synergy Linear
Accelerator, Sadler Clinic is able to provide that care at their new

Radiation
Therapy is the medical use of ionizing radiation as part of cancer treatment to
control malignant cells. Radiation
Therapy has been used to treat cancer for more than 100 years and may be used in
conjunction with other therapies or as the primary therapy. Different types of cancers respond
differently to radiation therapy. If
you've been diagnosed with some form of cancer, your physician will choose the
best treatment plan available to safely and aggressively treat your
cancer. Radiation therapy is in itself
painless and possible side effects are dependent on the part of the body being
treated. Your physician can discuss
possible side effects with you during your preliminary consultation.
