Please click the image for the WMCC guide to understanding TomoTherapy treatments.

WMCC’s newest cancer-fighting technology is called the TomoTherapy Hi-Art treatment system. TomoTherapy provides yet another option in the care of select cancers which includes those that occur in the head and neck, prostate and pelvis. In addition, one of the most revolutionary benefits of TomoTherapy is its ability to safely retreat certain tumor sites.

Using TomoTherapy, tumor sites are targeted with radiation in an innovative, helical fashion rather than with radiation beams at fixed angles. This provides an even dose distribution that is delivered with greater accuracy and precision. This enables the treatment of many complex cancer sites, while sparing healthy tissue.
