Saint John's Ambulatory Services Center brings together in one location a full-range of outpatient  diagnostic and cancer treatment programs.

Patients receive radiation therapy in Saint John’s Cancer Center.  The Center provides radiation therapy from experienced professionals using state-of-the-art equipment.  A radiation treatment planning system computer and a CT treatment simulator offer valuable assistance to the radiation oncologist in planning individualized treatments.  The Cancer Center also uses Intensity Modulation Radiation Therapy (IMRT), the latest available technology in the nation for radiation therapy, to deliver higher doses of radiation only to the tumor tissue and sparing the surrounding normal tissue. Other progressive technologies include accelerated partial breast irradiation utilizing MammoSite and SAVI.  This allows an appropriately selected breast cancer patient to receive treatment twice a day for 5 days as opposed to traditional 30+ days. 

Radiation Oncologists at the Saint John’s Cancer Center are with Progressive Radiation Oncology and are Board Certified.  The physicians have recent academic training and actively participate in clinical research trials bringing current up to date evidence based technologies to the community of Madison County.
