UAB has a unique approach to the determination of the optimal plan for each individual patient. A team of subspecialists from multiple disciplines, radiation oncology, surgery, medical oncology, GYN oncology, radiology, and pathology, evaluate multiple parameters related to an individual patients’ cancer and derive a treatment plan based on the most current literature. If radiosurgery is indicated, the patient will be referred to the UAB Radiosurgery Program. Relying on their 15 years of experience treating patients with complicated tumors, the physicians will design a patient specific plan and implement it with the most advanced technology available.

This program, as part of the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center, has successfully integrated sub-specialized faculty and staff from both the Department of Radiation Oncology and the Department of Surgery. This structure allows further innovations, revolutionizing the diagnosis and treatment of patients with complicated cancer processes. Tumors that were untreatable just a few years ago can now be treated successfully with SRS or SBRT.
