Radiation Oncology
Radiation oncology uses advanced therapies, like noninvasive radiosurgery, to precisely target cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue.
Why Choose Sutter?
Radiation therapy is a noninvasive treatment that can target and sometimes eliminate various cancers, often removing the need for surgical intervention. Our radiation oncologists turn to different types of radiation therapy to destroy a targeted area without harming the surrounding healthy tissue. This includes radiosurgery techniques like Gamma Knife®, Novalis Tx™ and TrueBeam STx™.
Since the Sutter Gamma Knife® Radiosurgery Center opened in Sacramento in 1998, we’ve treated thousands of children and adults. Gamma Knife has more published clinical evidence in support of its effectiveness and outcomes for more conditions than any other type of stereotactic radiosurgery.
