Talking Hope: Innovations in radiation oncology are transforming cancer care

Radiation therapy is a keystone of cancer treatment for many patients. It can be utilized for everything from eliminating cancer cells and shrinking tumors to enhancing the effectiveness of chemotherapy, easing pain and reducing side effects. We discuss lifesaving breakthroughs in the field with renowned radiation oncologist Percy Lee, M.D., City of Hope's medical director of Orange County and Coastal Region radiation oncology and vice chair for clinical research in the Department of Radiation Oncology. Dr. Lee practices at City of Hope Orange County Lennar Foundation Cancer Center, the only cancer center in Orange County that provides the three most innovative radiotherapy systems - in the most advanced configurations - available anywhere.
