General Info

The Dr. Russel Pardoe Radiation Oncology Center at Providence St. Joseph Hospital Eureka has earned a reputation for offering state of the art cancer treatment on the northern California coast that is usually only found in major medical centers. Modern linear accelerators, such as the ones used at the Dr. Russel Pardoe Radiation Oncology Center, use high-tech, computer-controlled X-rays to precisely treat nearly all types of cancer. The sophisticated treatments such as IMRT, SRS, IGRT and SBRT can give high doses of radiation to the cancer cells, greatly reducing the dose of radiation to the surrounding healthy tissues. This results in higher cure rates with fewer side effects.
