Our portfolio of treatment options includes Intensity Modulation (IMRT), Image Guidance (IGRT), permanent prostate seed implantation and Mammosite Breast Irradiation.

Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is a mixture of drugs that treat cancer systemically. They are often administered intravenously (IV) or by mouth (orally). Because some drugs work better together than alone, two or more drugs are often given at the same time. Chemotherapy is used to treat solid tumors and cancers of the blood.
Saint Clare's offers chemotherapy services through accomplished medical oncologists, including:
