Radiation Therapy
North Shore Radiation Oncology offers the most advanced treatment methods available
today. NSRO is a modern outpatient facility conveniently located in East Setauket.
As part of its commitment to providing innovative care options for its patients,
NSRO has commissioned an Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) unit at its
Patchogue and East Setauket facilities.
IMRT is a revolutionary type of external beam treatment that is able to conform
radiation to the size, shape and location of a tumor. It involves varying (or modulation)
the intensity of the radiation beam.
