Internal Medicine
Dr. Werner attended the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington, and earned her medical degree from University of Washington School of Medicine. She completed her postgraduate training at the University of Vermont. She was certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in 1998 and was employed by an Internal Medicine group in Eugene, Oregon, until June 2002 when she returned to the University of Washington Medical Center to enter the Radiation Oncology residency program. She completed that program and joined our staff in 2006. She was certified by the American Board of Radiology in Therapeutic Radiology in June 2007. Her professional affiliations include the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology, the Washington State Medical Association, Thurston-Mason County Medical Society and Association of Freestanding Radiation Oncology Centers. She is on staff at Providence St. Peter Hospital, Providence Centralia Hospital and Grays Harbor Community Hospital.

Thyroid
Thyroid Cancer
131 I) is a type of systemic radiation therapy commonly used to help treat some types of thyroid cancer. Thyroid cells naturally take up radioactive iodine.

Ultrasound
During simulation, detailed imaging scans show the location of a patientâ€™s tumor and the normal areas around it. These scans are usually computed tomography (CT) scans, but they can also include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and ultrasound scans.
MRI
Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT): In IGRT, repeated imaging scans (CT, MRI, or PET) are performed during treatment. These imaging scans are processed by computers to identify changes in a tumorâ€™s size and location due to treatment and to allow the position of the patient or the planned radiation dose to be adjusted during treatment as needed. Repeated imaging can increase the accuracy of radiation treatment and may allow reductions in the planned volume of tissue to be treated, thereby decreasing the total radiation dose to normal tissue ( 5 ).
Radiology
Dr. Raymond attended the University of Michigan, the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Texas and earned his medical degree from the University of Washington School of Medicine. He completed his postgraduate training at Good Samaritan and Emanuel Hospitals in Portland, Oregon, and the University of Washington Medical Center. He was certified by the American Board of Radiology in Therapeutic Radiology in 1998 and practiced in Cody, Wyoming, before joining our staff in 2003. His professional affiliations include the American College of Radiology, the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology, the Washington State Medical Association, Thurston-Mason County Medical Society, Association of Freestanding Radiation Oncology Centers and American Society of Clinical Oncology. He is on staff at Providence St. Peter Hospital, Providence Centralia Hospital and Grays Harbor Community Hospital.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
At the simulation appointment we will be performing a treatment planning CT scan of the area to be treated, as well the surrounding tissues. Depending on the specific site to be treated, you may be asked to change into a gown. We will be positioning you on the x-ray table in the position in which you will be treated. We will make every attempt to make it as comfortable as possible for you.
Chemotherapy
Radiation therapy is sometimes given with curative intent (that is, with the hope that the treatment will cure a cancer, either by eliminating a tumor, preventing cancer recurrence, or both) ( 1 ). In such cases, radiation therapy may be used alone or in combination with surgery, chemotherapy, or both.
Radiation Therapy
The number of treatments varies. Radiation therapy is usually given five days per week (Monday through Friday). Treatments generally last from two to eight weeks depending on the total dose prescribed.
Radiation Oncology
The physicians and staff of RadiantCare Radiation Oncology are dedicated to utilizing the most sophisticated radiation treatment devices and procedures available to assist in the care of patients with cancer. We work cooperatively with physicians throughout Thurston, Grays Harbor, Lewis, Mason and Pacific counties. We appreciate the unique needs and concerns of patients with cancer and are committed to meeting those needs.

General Surgery
Dr. Allen attended Walla Walla College, receiving a bachelor of science in bioengineering. He earned a combined medical degree and doctorate in physiology from Loma Linda University. He completed an internship in General Surgery at Loma Linda University and a residency in Radiation Oncology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He was certified by the American Board of Radiology in Therapeutic Radiology in July 2008 and joined our staff in November 2007. His current professional affiliations include the American College of Radiology, American Society of Therapeutic Radiation and Oncology, and the Washington State Medical Association. He is on staff at Providence St. Peter Hospital, Providence Centralia Hospital and Grays Harbor Community Hospital.

Skin Cancer
Other charged particle beams: Electron beams are used to irradiate superficial tumors, such as skin cancer or tumors near the surface of the body, but they cannot travel very far through tissue ( 1 ). Therefore, they cannot treat tumors deep within the body.
Lesions
Radiation oncologists and physicists use electron or photon therapies for different types of cancer treatments. Generally speaking, photons (X-rays) are used for treating tumors deep within the body. Electrons, which cannot penetrate deep tissue, are used for more superficial disease including some skin cancers and shallow head and neck lesions.
