About Us

The Departments of Radiation Oncology at Continuum Cancer Centers of New York are recognized among the largest and most sophisticated in the country. Our world-renowned, highly skilled specialists and innovative technology attracts patients from around the world.

Radiation Oncology at Beth Israel Medical Center and St. Luke's and Roosevelt Hospitals is celebrated as a premier program due to our comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to care. To provide patients with the individualized attention they need, our staff is experienced in the most advanced approaches to treatment. In addition, we offer technologically superior facilities to provide the best care possible.

Our patients often receive other treatments such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy or surgery as well as radiation therapy. To ensure the best possible outcome, this multi-disciplinary approach requires collaboration and coordination among the specialists on a patient's treatment team. Therefore, during your first visit you will meet with your radiation oncologist and a nurse practitioner. Your radiation oncologist may consult with any other specialists as necessary before your treatment begins to determine the best course of action. In addition, other members of the Cancer Support Services Program may be brought in to better help you successfully manage your treatment.

The major goal of radiation therapy is to maximize cure while maintaining optimal organ function and quality of life. Because each patient's case presents unique challenges and requires individual attention, we urge you to consult your radiation oncologist about which treatment plan is best for you. It is extremely important to seek out an expert team of physicians who specialize in your type of cancer to ensure optimal outcome.
