In a significant advancement for cancer treatment in Oklahoma, the OU Health Stephenson Cancer Center has unveiled the new Accuray Radixact System, bringing cutting-edge technology to the state’s only National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Designated Cancer Center. This innovative system promises to transform the patient experience by providing a more comfortable and effective approach to radiation therapy. The Accuray Radixact System utilizes image-guided intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IG-IMRT), which allows for highly precise targeting of tumors. This technology employs a continuous stream of radiation delivered from multiple angles around the patient, enhancing the doctors' ability to focus the treatment on cancerous cells while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. As a result, patients are expected to experience fewer side effects and potentially fewer visits for treatment, marking a significant improvement in their overall care. Dr. Jerry Jaboin, a radiation oncologist at the Stephenson Cancer Center, emphasized the importance of this technological advancement, stating, "Every advancement in cancer treatment technology means new hope for our patients." He expressed confidence that the Radixact System will enable healthcare providers to develop personalized treatment plans that cater to the unique needs of each patient, thereby minimizing disruption to their daily routines. This development is particularly noteworthy as Stephenson Cancer Center is only the second facility in the United States to offer this state-of-the-art technology. The Radixact System holds the promise of treating tumors in challenging locations that have historically posed difficulties in access. By enhancing the precision of radiation delivery, the system allows for more effective treatment options for a wider range of patients, addressing a critical need in cancer care. Dr. Jaboin also reiterated the center's commitment to patient-centered care, stating, "Stephenson Cancer Center is committed to helping patients on their journey to gaining control over their cancer." The integration of advanced technology into treatment protocols serves to empower patients, providing them with tailored solutions that align with their individual circumstances. For those seeking more information on the radiation therapy options available at Stephenson Cancer Center, including insights on the groundbreaking Radixact System, interested individuals are encouraged to reach out via phone at (405) 271-3402 or visit the center's website to schedule a consultation.
