We treat 15 cancer 16 in days 17 with the most 18 innovative therapies and compassionate care. 19 ertain cancers, which once required a hospital stay or weeks of treatment, can now be treated in days on an outpatient basis. To treat cancer in a week or less, the multidisciplinary team at Monongahela Valley Hospital's Charles L. and Rose Sweeney Melenyzer Pavilion and Regional Cancer Center uses the following innovative therapies: High-Dose Radiation Therapy (Brachytherapy) A high-energy radiation source is placed inside the body near the tumor as a short series of outpatient procedures. This therapy allows highly localized doses of radiation to be delivered to the tumor quickly. Our radiation team uses high-dose rate brachytherapy for the treatment of breast, gynecological and skin cancers as well as superficial tumors. This treatment gives patients an alternative to aggressive surgery, MVH speciatizes in accelerated partial breast treatments using brachytherapy and can treat the cancer in 5 days. Radioactive seeds travel from a special machine through catheters placed at the surgical site. This therapy is completed with the same results but much faster than the standard six weeks of treatments. Stereotactic Therapy MVH's Radiation Oncology staff uses stereotactic radiosurgery to treat cancer using the highest possible dose of radiation in one or up to five visits. Used in the treatment of brain, spinal and small isolated tumors in the liver and tungs, this therapy is considered "surgery without a knife" and is comparable to gamma knife therapy. The radiation oncologist develops each patient's plan using various beam intensities and angles to kill the cancer while minimizing exposure to healthy organs Putting your health first.
