• Ovarian Cancer
  Ovarian cancer begins when cells grow out of control in the ovaries, which produce eggs, and the hormones estrogen and progesterone. It’s most common in post-menopausal women; in Minnesota, over 80% of cases are in women over 50. Symptoms of ovarian cancer are often vague, and because of this, it may go undetected until the later stages. By then, it may spread, or metastasize, to other areas of the pelvis or abdomen.
• Cervical Cancer
  Cervical cancer starts when the cells lining the cervix begin to grow out of control. The two main types are squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma, whose cells appear different under a microscope. Sometimes, both types of cells are involved in cervical cancer.
• Colon Cancer
• Prostate Cancer
  The prostate gland produces fluid that’s a part of semen. And cancer typically develops when the cells of the prostate start to grow out of control. This is called adenocarcinoma, and it comprises more than 99% of all prostate cancers. Other rare types of prostate cancer include sarcomas, small cell carcinomas, neuroendocrine tumors, and transitional cell carcinomas.

• Lung Cancer
  In Minnesota, lung cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosis, with about 3900 new cases a year according to the Minnesota Department of Public Health. Incidence rates vary significantly by race, ethnicity, and geography.

• Thyroid Cancer
  Thyroid cancer: There are several different types and subtypes of cancer that affect the thyroid gland, which helps regulate your metabolism, heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature.

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Minneapolis Radiation Oncology physicians pioneered the use of brachytherapy for prostate cancer in the upper Midwest. The first treatment in the region was performed by MRO radiation oncologist Dr. Doug Olson in 1988. Prostate brachytherapy is performed in a specially equipped operating room by a radiation oncologist and a urologist while a patient is asleep or under anesthesia. Working closely together the team uses ultrasound guidance to place long thin metal tubes into the prostate, through which 70 to 120 tiny radioactive seeds are implanted. The seeds are about the thickness of a pencil lead and just about an 1/8 inch long. The procedure typically takes one hour, and the patient is usually discharged later that day. Although the internal seeds emit low-energy radiation with only trace amounts of radiation outside the patient’s body, the specialists at MRO recommend patients avoid close contact with children and pregnant women for a short time following the seed placement. After approximately 6 months, the seed will be essentially inactive. They can be safely left in place indefinitely.
• Radiology
  €œIt’s important for patients to know that a highly-qualified physicist checks every procedure. And at MRO, all our physicists have the same American Board of Radiology (ABR) certification as our radiation oncologists.â€
• X-Rays
• Chemotherapy
  Radiation is a localized treatment, that only targets the cells in the part of the body being treated. It’s often used along with other cancer treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy.
• Radiation Therapy
  At MRO, we specialize in one thing — providing patients access to the advanced radiation therapy they need to fight cancer close to home.
• Radiation Oncology
  With 11 convenient locations, Minneapolis Radiation Oncology makes it easier to get the treatment you need and get back to your life.

• Skin Cancer
  Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women (after skin cancer) affecting about one in eight women, but it can occur in men, too. Breast cancer accounts for over 30% of cancers diagnosed among women. There are about 3,900 new cases each year in Minnesota, according to the Minnesota Department of Health. Even though breast cancer is a daunting diagnosis, relative survival rates are high, according to the American Cancer Society: 91% at five years, and 84% after ten years.

• Skin Care
  You will begin by meeting with a nurse in an examination room. He or she will become a familiar face over the course of your treatment. At least once a week after your first visit, your nurse will meet with you to explain where you are in the process, answer your questions, and provide information on skin care, dietary needs and managing side effects.
