Welcome to the Department of Radiation Oncology at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.  Our Department is housed in the Bodine Center for Cancer Treatment, at the corner of the 11th and Sansom Streets.

We treat significant numbers of patients with either non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or Hodgkin’s disease in our Department.  Radiation therapy is prescribed in close collaboration with the referring physicians.  Various forms of radiation therapy may be used depending on the circumstances, such as conformal external beam radiotherapy, Total Body Irradiation, brachytherapy (implants), radioactive-labeled monoclonal antibodies etc.  Our state-of-the-art radiation planning equipment includes a computed tomography (CT) simulator, allowing for a precise localization of the tumor and critical tissues based on real-time CT scanner images.
