Radiation Oncology

The Department of Radiation Oncology at the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center is part of the Comprehensive Cancer Center of Wake Forest University, an NCI designated comprehensive cancer center (one of only 38 in the Nation).

Our mission is simple: To Enhance Care

The Department's Mission Statement is the following:

"To provide competent, compassionate, cutting-edge radiation oncology care to our patients."

Within the Department of Radiation Oncology, we believe that effective prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer depends on a strong partnership with referring physicians. Close communication with each physician at every stage of the treatment program provides integrated care. Our goal is to enhance your patient's care. Our focus as your partner in treatment is to provide both your patient and you with hope. Radiation Oncology and the Cancer Center have an active cancer patient support program aimed at meeting the emotional and spiritual needs of its patients.
