About Us
Our patients often receive other treatments such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy or surgery as well as radiation therapy. To ensure the best possible outcome, this multi-disciplinary approach requires collaboration and coordination among the specialists on a patient's treatment team. Therefore, during your first visit you will meet with your radiation oncologist. Your radiation oncologist may consult with any other specialists as necessary before your treatment begins to determine the best course of action.
The major goal of radiation therapy is to maximize curing cancer while maintaining optimal organ function and quality of life. Because each patient's case presents unique challenges and requires individualized attention, we urge you to consult your radiation oncologist about which treatment plan is best for you. It is extremely important to seek out an expert team of physicians who specialize in your type of cancer to insure optimal outcome.
KRMC is moving forward with plans to bring the first Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) system of its kind in the state of Montana to cancer patients in this community. Read more about this innovative new technology and how you can help bring it to the Flathead Valley here.
