Your care will begin with a simulation session to capture detailed images and create a custom treatment plan. You may be asked to follow certain guidelines, such as dietary adjustments, before your sessions.

Each session begins with imaging to confirm the tumor’s exact position. The system then delivers radiation in a continuous spiral, which can improve accuracy while reducing the number of healthy cells exposed. Most sessions last between 15 and 30 minutes.

Most patients return to normal activities quickly. Your team will schedule follow-up visits to track your progress and address any side effects.

Radixact TomoTherapy

Advanced image-guided radiation that combines precision and flexibility for a personalized cancer treatment approach close to home in Palm Beach County.

Expert Cancer Care You Can Trust

At Lynn Cancer Institute, we use Radixact TomoTherapy to deliver some of the most precise radiation treatments available today. This advanced system integrates imaging, planning, and delivery into a single platform, so radiation can be shaped to the exact dimensions of your tumor, helping protect healthy tissue nearby.

Our Approach

Before treatment begins, our team uses CT-based imaging to create a detailed map of your tumor. This allows us to plan and deliver radiation from multiple angles in a continuous 360-degree pattern. The result is a highly personalized treatment that can adapt to changes in tumor size or shape over the course of therapy.

Your Care, Delivered with Heart

From your first consultation, we explain every step clearly and answer your questions with compassion. Our goal is to make sure you feel confident and supported throughout your care.

Radixact is the next generation of TomoTherapy technology. It combines:

Daily image guidance for accuracy before every session
Helical delivery that moves in a spiral around the body, targeting the tumor from all directions

This makes it especially effective for complex tumors or cases where the tumor is close to sensitive organs.

When Is It Recommended?

Radixact may be used for:

Tumors that are irregular in shape
Cancers located near vital organs
Patients needing re-treatment after previous radiation
Tumors that change position with breathing or body movement
