What is Trilogy Radiosurgery Cancer Treatment?

Trilogy is an advanced linear accelerator and radiosurgery cancer treatment system.

It allows doctors to target tumors in hard to reach places.

How Does Trilogy Treat Tumors?

The machine uses image-guided technology to provide accurate images of your tumor while you're receiving treatment.

While using the images to target your tumor, the Trilogy system rotates around you and delivers high doses of precisely targeted radiation therapy. This helps spare healthy tissue surrounding the tumor.

Types of Cancer We Treat with Trilogy

The machine treats the following diseases and other benign tumors:
