UCSF-Washington Cancer Center, Radiation Oncology, is part of our cancer care affiliation with UCSF Health. Local residents can receive academic-level care without traveling across the bay. The center maintains a caring, compassionate atmosphere, uses state-of-the-art technology, including the Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator, and benefits from cancer research done at UCSF.

The Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator uses sophisticated technology to precisely target tumors with radiation beams, helping destroy cancer cells while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. It features several built-in safety measures to ensure that it delivers the precise dosage.

Technical resources include:

• Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator delivering multi-energy photon and electron therapy. The accelerator is equipped with a 120-leaf multileaf collimator. Its treatment capabilities include 3-D conformal radiation therapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).
• RaySearch RayStation Treatment Planning System
• Siemens SOMATOM go. CT Scanner

These resources allow UCSF-Washington Cancer Center, Radiation Oncology to develop treatment plans based on three-dimensional images of the tumor and surrounding tissue. A dose of radiation can then be prescribed and delivered with multidirectional beams that not only improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the treatment but also limit the dose and minimize injury to the surrounding tissues.
