Colorado River Oncology
The Best in Cancer Treatment Technology
Colorado River Oncology includes the most advanced radiation therapy technologies available to patients.
Radiation therapy is a commonly used tool to treat many types of cancer. It may be used as the only therapy or it is sometimes given in combination with surgery or chemotherapy. The goal of radiation treatment is to deliver high doses of radiation to cancer cells while limiting exposure to surrounding normal tissues.
To minimize side effects and preserve healthy tissue, our radiation oncologists use image-guided radiotherapy. This advanced technology also improves curability.
Specialized Cancer Care
At Colorado River Oncology we treat all types of cancer, and we specialize in several common cancers that typically respond very well to radiation therapy. With these cancers, we work closely with your medical oncologist and specialty physician (e.g. dermatologist, urologist, etc.) to ensure cooperative care so that you get the best and most comprehensive treatment possible.
Radiation for prostate cancer is one of the most effective treatments, and we offer several options for radiation treatment at Colorado River Oncology.

Thyroid Cancer
If you’re searching for radiation therapy because you are hoping to find less-invasive treatment options, you’ve come to the right place. Colorado River Oncology specializes in targeting tumors and cancerous cells directly with external beam radiation therapy, or EBRT. Our clinic also offers drug treatment plans to treat thyroid cancer. We are committed to finding the best option for treatment and creating personalized plans for all of our patients.
Low-Dose Radiation Therapy for Benign Conditions
While radiotherapy is commonly known as a cancer treatment, low-dose radiotherapy is an excellent, non-invasive treatment option for many benign conditions. As the name suggests, this type of radiotherapy uses much smaller doses of radiation compared to what’s used for cancer treatments. This form of radiotherapy has been used to successfully treat conditions like arthritis, plantar fasciitis, Dupuytren’s, keloid scars, and more.
