CANCER CARE
THE ROBERT AND CAROL WEISSMAN CANCER
CENTER
at Martin Health now offers the new True-
Beam system – a radically different approach to treating
cancer with image-guided radiotherapy. Physicians are
able to tailor radiotherapy treatments for each patient’s
specific case like never before.
The TrueBeam system was designed to deliver highly
focused radiation treatments with unparalleled ease and
speed. It uniquely integrates new imaging and motion
management technologies that make it possible to offer
greater patient comfort by shortening treatment times
while monitoring and compensating for tumor motion.
Most treatments take just a few minutes a day.
“The TrueBeam offers cutting-edge technology and
is the first of its kind on the Treasure Coast,” says Kiran
Reddy, MD, medical director of radiation oncology. “It
has a broad spectrum of capabilities, allowing clinicians
the versatility to choose the optimal treatment approach
for our patients.”
The benefits of TrueBeam:
• Speed and precision. That means shorter treatment
times, which leads to less interruption of patients’
daily lives.
• Expanded treatment options for patients who
otherwise may not have been candidates for tradition-
al radiotherapy. It also gives medical professionals the
tools to treat more complex cancer cases in areas such
as the head and neck, lung, breast, abdomen, and liver.
• Quieter operation and enhanced communication
technology that enables constant interaction between
the patient and the therapist who operates the equip-
ment. The result is a more comfortable environment
for patients.
