Radiation Therapy - What to Expect at Premier Cancer Centers


Radiation oncologist Dr. Rajiv (Raj) Dahiya holds an MD from the University of Missouri - Kansas City School of Medicine. Alongside his work with Predictive Medical Solutions, Dr. Raj Dahiya treats patients at Premier Cancer Centers in Dallas, TX.

At Premier Cancer Centers, the first thing patients can expect is a consultation. After reviewing educational materials, patients have the opportunity to discuss their concerns and treatment goals. 

Patients who choose to have treatment will then undergo a CT scan. This information, as well as data gathered from other tests, is used as a planning tool for physicians, enabling them to create truly custom treatment plans that effectively target tumors while minimizing harm to the surrounding areas. 

A radiation oncologist and physicist will both review treatment plans to ensure they are suitable. Once a treatment plan is finalized, patients begin undergoing treatments. 

The timing and duration of treatments vary greatly by patient. When therapy has concluded, patients receive continued support through follow-up appointments.
