The Department of Radiation Oncology has three key divisions:

• Clinical Division
• Physics & Engineering
• Radiation Biology

The clinical division encompasses patient care and clinicial education for residents and medical students.  The division of physics and engineering is tasked with ensuring that the treatment machines are fine tuned to deliver the most precise radiotheraputic dose for the patient.  The division of radiation biology conducts research and trains our medical residents in the biological aspects of cancer and radiation.  We participate in clinical trial protocols of the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG), Childrens Oncology Group (COG) and the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) in addition to various institutional protocols.
