Duke physicians integrate the most innovative radiation
techniques with new combinations of cancer-killing drugs to
achieve the optimal outcome for each patient.
Duke is a national leader in using pre-operative
chemotherapy and radiation treatments to shrink tumors in
patients with pancreatic, colorectal, and gastric cancers
before surgery to reduce complications and improve
outcomes.
Other novel radiation therapies include transrectal
ultrasound, intra-operative radiation targeted directly at the
tumor during surgery, and hyperthermic radiation using heat to
boost radiation’s effectiveness.
For tumors that have metastasized to other parts of the
body, Duke radiologists use the latest imaging techniques such
as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), positron emission
tomography (PET), and MRI to pinpoint the precise location of
tumors.
