RapidArc is fast, efficient, precise and simple.

Cancer Care Associates believes in delivering the best possible treatment to our patients. That’s why we have invested in the latest technology available to treat cancer, including the new RapidArc (tm) Linear Accelerator. We are proud to provide our patients with world class technology right here in the Valley.

RapidArc can improve patient comfort by dramatically reducing the amount of time patients spend on the treatment table. While other pinpoint radiation machines can take as long as 45 minutes, the RapidArc in one treatment revolution, takes two minutes per session.

RapidArc combines speed with uncompromised quality. Its single gantry rotation not only speeds treatment delivery, but it may also result in less tissue surrounding the tumor being unnecessarily treated. RapidArc gives the precise dose of radiation needed to treat a tumor which increases the chances of tumor control without complications.

The precision of RapidArc spares healthy tissue to an extent that was unimaginable only a few years ago. The versatility of RapidArc enables treatment of a wide variety of patients using a single machine.
