Campbell County Health's Radiation Oncology area utilizes ionizing radiation from a machine called a linear accelerator to break up and destroy the molecules within the tumor cells. Our Varian 21iX Linear Accelerator, which replaced the old LINAC in October of 2012, utilizes the newest technology offered (including IMRT, CBCT) in the Radiation Therapy field. Use the north, or "annex" entrance to access Radiation Oncology (take a right after you enter the Cancer Center main sliding doors).
