This is big. Today I'm reuniting with one of my favorite doctors from my own cancer treatment, Dr. David Clump. He's the medical director at the Mary Hillman Jennings Radiation Oncology Center at UPMC Shadyside and co-leader of the Head and Neck Program at the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center.
Watch the video on this page to see our discussion about a new type of treatment at UPMC that is a game-changer for both doctors and patients.
The RefleXion X1 is now at UPMC ShadysideUPMC
The treatment we are talking about is called RefleXion and It's the first system that allows doctors to treat multiple tumors in a single session. Dr.
Clump explains how it works in the video.
From UPMC:
"The RefleXion X1 is currently approved for treating patients using conventional stereotactic body radiotherapy, intensity modulated radiation therapy and stereotactic radiosurgery."
