Radiation Oncology at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Hazleton

When you come to the Cancer Institute for radiation therapy, you can feel confident you are receiving the highest level of care. We have maintained accreditation by the American College of Radiology (ACR) for several years running. The ACR seal of accreditation means we maintain the highest standards for safe, effective radiation therapy.

You receive care from doctors (radiation oncologists) who specialize in using radiation therapy to treat cancer. Many of our radiation oncology experts completed training in the nation’s top medical education programs. All our radiation oncologists are board-certified, meaning they passed a rigorous exam after completing medical school. 

Radiation oncology may play a crucial role in a patient’s cancer treatment. Lehigh Valley Topper Cancer Institute offers patients state-of-the-art technology and techniques. Leading-edge treatment options include linear accelerator (LINAC)-based radiotherapy, which can target deep-seated tumors with minimal effect on adjacent healthy tissue, and offers shorter courses of treatment to reduce the number of visits needed for certain procedures and increase chances for a positive outcome.
