Varian Linear Accelerators

The Varian Linear Accelerator is an advanced technology that allows radiation therapists and doctors to deliver a uniform dose of high-energy x-rays precisely at the location of the patient's tumor. High dose rays work to destroy cancerous cells without impacting healthy tissue around the tumor.  Because of the precision and high dosage, linear acceleration technology makes it possible for the cancer to be treated in only a few sessions saving much time and expense.  And, since radiation may be delivered from any angle using the technology, a wider range of difficult to treat tumors are made treatable.  As with many of today's advanced radiation therapies, side effects are few and treatment is often painless.
