Few centers have our breadth of treatment options for patients. A key strength of our group is the ability, expertise, and desire to individualize treatment strategy to the patient. As an early adopter and developer of radiation technologies, we offer many treatment modalities, including brachytherapy (radioactive seed implant), stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), image-guided intensity modulated radiotherapy (IG-IMRT), volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), and more.

GU Clinical Trials

As one of the top academic medical centers in the country and the only NCI-designated cancer center in North Texas, we lead and participate in a number of clinical trials aimed at improving the outcomes of patients with cancer. Our Department enrolls approximately 200 new patients in clinical trials each year. 

Clinical trials are critical in developing new therapies for cancer and can mean having access to new medication, groundbreaking research, and additional clinical care. Our clinical trials team is comprised of radiation oncologists, radiation biologists, clinical research coordinators, quality assurance coordinators, and clinical data specialists.
