RADIATION CENTER
You are more than your cancer diagnosis. That’s why Oregon Urology Institute Radiation Center doesn’t just treat cancer – we treat you. Our caring doctors listen, help you understand your options and provide the most advanced treatments available.
OUR SPECIALTIES
Oregon Urology Institute Radiation Center is the Willamette Valley’s only cancer center dedicated to treating and researching urologic cancers. We offer the expertise of highly trained specialists; the most advanced treatments; and a full range of support services to guide you through your cancer treatment.
SECOND OPINION
If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, we encourage you to learn as much about your condition and treatment options as possible. A second opinion can:
- Confirm your diagnosis;
- Uncover more treatment options; and
- Help you feel confident in your treatment decisions.
Oregon Urology Institute Radiation Center offers some of the most leading-edge radiation and immunotherapy treatments available in southern Oregon and northern California. We are available for second opinion consultations and can help you understand the full range of treatment options so you can make an informed decision about your care.
To schedule an appointment, call us at (541) 334-3351. If you need a referral or pre-authorization from your insurance company, we are happy to guide you through the process. If you live outside the Willamette Valley, we will gladly work with you to plan your travel arrangements and schedule your consultation at a time that is most convenient to you.
RADIATION THERAPY
During radiation therapy, targeted energy is used to kill cancer cells or keep them from growing. Radiation therapy may be external, internal or systemic depending on what type and stage of cancer you have.
External radiation therapy uses a machine outside the body to point radiation toward the cancer. At Oregon Urology Institute Radiation Center, the only external radiation we use is highly-targeted Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT).
Systemic radiation is taken orally or injected. This type of radiation travels throughout the body until it reaches the targeted cancer cells. Oregon Urology Institute Radiation Center is currently the only radiation oncology practice in the Willamette Valley able to offer Xofigo, a radiation injection for advanced prostate cancer.

IMMUNOTHERAPY
Immunotherapies work by stimulating your immune cells, or T-cells, to attack tumor cells. Your T-cells can be activated by injecting drugs or antibodies into your system, or your T-cells may be collected from your blood and reprogrammed to fight cancer cells in a laboratory. They are then re-injected into your system.
They then go to work attacking certain proteins found in cancer cells but not in normal cells. Because it doesn’t hurt normal cells, immunotherapy generally has few side effects.
Currently, our radiation center offers Immunotherapy for Prostate Cancer.
