Specialized Treatment Options

The team offers numerous advanced therapies. The approach is tailored to each patient’s specific sarcoma. A key option is CyberKnife radiosurgery. This non-invasive robotic treatment delivers high-dose radiation in 5-7 sessions over 1-2 weeks.

For patients needing proton therapy, it involves 30-35 sessions. This treatment minimizes damage to nearby healthy tissues. Another precise radiation method is Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT).

Systemic treatments are based on tumor biology. Targeted therapy attacks specific genetic mutations. Immunotherapy helps the body’s immune system fight cancer cells. The clinic also provides access to clinical trials and novel vaccine therapies.
