Radiation Therapy

The radiation therapy channel covers all aspects of radiation oncology technology. Radiation therapy includes linear accelerators (LINAC), proton therapy, brachytherapy, image guided radiation therapy (IGRT), focused ultrasound, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), treatment planning systems and tomotherapy.

Cleveland Clinic received a $7.9 million five-year grant from the National Cancer Institute to form one of three national centers as part of the newly established Radiation Oncology-Biology Integration Network (ROBIN). Timothy Chan, M.D., Ph.D., Chair of the Center for Immunotherapy and Precision Immuno-Oncology, will serve as primary investigator of Cleveland Clinic’s ROBIN center.
