World's Most Advanced Cancer Treatment Comes to Milford

Continuing the pioneering efforts of bringing to Northeast Pennsylvania and the Tri-state area the most advanced technologies, the physicians of Northeast Radiation Oncology Centers have introduced their newest service, the TomoTherapy Hi-Art System. Until now available only in the largest metropolitan centers around the world, the very latest innovation in radiotherapy is conveniently available at home at the Upper Delaware Valley Cancer Center in Milford, Pennsylvania.

Dr. Michael Gallagher states, "We are also pleased that our new partner in NROC's medical group, Jose Luis Pino-y-Torres, M.D., is one of the most experienced radiation oncologists in the world in the use of TomoTherapy. Dr. Pino-y-Torres trained at Johns Hopkins, brought Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy to MD Anderson/Orlando, and was instrumental in bringing the first TomoTherapy Hi-Art System in the United States to that facility."

TomoTherapy is the most precise radiation cancer treatment for people with the most complex and challenging cases. "This cutting-edge technology allows the delivery of 360 degree precision radiation therapy, and will have tremendous positive impact on patients," states Dr. Pino. "It is the first system that provides 3-D imaging immediately prior to each treatment, confirming with pinpoint accuracy the exact location for the delivery of radiation."

The TomoTherapy Hi-Art System advances the 15-year commitment of the NROC group with Wayne Memorial Hospital, Honesdale, Bon Secours Hospital, Port Jervis, and Mercy Hospital, Scranton, in providing the very best cancer treatment and research for patients.
