Cumberland Medical Center’s Regional Cancer Center is currently in the process of a major renovation and expansion. When this project is completed in early 2009, the center will have new furniture and flooring in addition to soothing walls and décor. The updates are to provide the Cancer Center’s patients and families with a comfortable environment to receive their treatments. Updates to the CMC Cancer Center include:
1. New Elekta Synergy radiation treatment system
2. Men’s and women’s private dressing rooms with lockers
3. Increased square footage of the facility
4. New Consult Rooms
5. A separate waiting room for patients on treatment
The Elekta Synergy treatment system is the first advanced multi-functional linear accelerator with intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and image guided radiation therapy (IGRT). This new system enables clinicians to both image and treats patients in the same frame of reference, at the time of treatment. The result is unmatched clinical confidence, enabling more aggressive treatment of tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Elekta Synergy directly addresses the two most persistent and significant issues in modern radiation therapy: internal organ motion and errors in patient set-up.
Quality care and personal interaction have long been the type of care of Cumberland Medical Center's oncology program, and now, thanks to a major facility renovation, including the addition of leading-edge technology, the cancer care you receive at Cumberland Medical Center continues both those missions.
