Pediatric Radiation-Oncology
At HSHS St. Vincent Hospital Regional Cancer Center, a radiation oncologist, along with a specialized team, provides radiation treatments to children of all ages.
Radiation oncologists are physicians with advanced training who partner with pediatric oncologists in choosing whether radiation therapy may be an appropriate course of treatment and the type of radiation therapy a child or young adult may receive. By leading the radiation oncology clinical team, from the initial consult through follow up care, they prescribe the appropriate radiation therapy treatment plan and provide close patient management throughout the course of treatment.
Our radiation oncologist works closely with the entire radiation oncology team of experts - including physicists, dosimetrists, radiation therapists, child life specialists and the procedural sedation team - to deliver safe and effective treatments.
