Share with a Friend St. Francis is making it harder for cancer
to hide in Central Indiana.
St. Francis is proud to be the first hospital in Central Indiana to offer TomoTherapy®, a revolutionary radiation therapy delivery system that treats cancer more effectively than ever before.
What makes TomoTherapy different?
It’s the first radiation therapy system to harness the power of CT scanning technology to eliminate the guesswork that’s often part of targeting tumors with traditional radiation treatment.
How? By enabling clinicians to take 3D images of the cancerous area every day. So rather than planning weeks of treatment with a static photo, they can see the patient’s anatomy as it actually is—and make adjustments whenever necessary.
The TomoTherapy machine’s unique design also makes it possible to deliver radiation in a continuous, 360-degree pattern—something that’s never been done before. That leads to better, more precise treatment that conforms to the tumor’s shape—sparing more of the healthy tissue that surrounds it.
No one explains the treatment better than the doctors who use it, so watch our video interviews to get more detailed information and view our animated simulation to see the TomoTherapy machine in action. You can also learn more about us and how our cancer screening program can help you stay well.
