A Leader in Cancer Care

Special Cancer Treatments

Radiation is a way to treat cancer using high-energy beams. Dr. Hukku is an expert in many types of this treatment.

What is IMRT?

IMRT stands for Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy. It is a smart way to give radiation. The machine changes the shape of the beam to match the shape of the tumor. This protects the healthy organs nearby.

What is IGRT?

IGRT stands for Image-Guided Radiation Therapy. Sometimes a tumor moves inside the body when we breathe. This technology uses special X-rays during treatment to make sure the beam hits the right spot every time.

CyberKnife and Radiosurgery

Dr. Hukku is also an expert in CyberKnife. Even though it has "knife" in the name, there is no cutting. It is a robotic machine that sends very strong radiation to a tumor. It is very useful for brain tumors that are hard to reach with normal surgery.
