Advanced Cancer Treatment Centers’ Radiation Oncologists Now Treating Patients at its New Location

The following providers are now seeing and treating all their patients at this location.

Clayton Alonso, MD, radiation oncology and Peter Zavitsanos, MD, radiation oncology. They join the following medical oncology providers who have already been treating patients at the new state-of-the-art treatment center.

All functions have now been transferred to one location.

In a promising development for cancer patients in the Tampa Bay area, Advanced Cancer Treatment Centers is now treating cancer patients using VitalBeam™ Radio Therapy System from Varian Medical Systems, bringing advanced image-guided tumor targeting capabilities close to home.

Drs. Alonso and Zavitsanos have been treating patients with the new technology on a limited basis at the new location for the last several weeks but are now treating patients exclusively with the VitalBeam system. Patients are treated for lung, brain, pancreas, liver, kidney, and spine cancer and other areas of the body where radiation is a medically accepted approach to treatment.

VitalBeam delivers powerful cancer treatments with pinpoint accuracy and precision built on Varian’s innovative TrueBeam™ platform, VitalBeam makes it possible to deliver image-guided treatments for the treatment of breast and prostate cancer, as well as challenging cases such as cancers of the Breast, Prostate, Lung, Head and Neck, Esophagus and Rectum.

“This system allows us to offer patients sophisticated, non-invasive radiotherapy treatments closer to home,” said Clayton Elliot Alonso, MD. “”VitalBeam is exciting technology that will enable us to treat challenging cases with shorter treatment times, pinpoint accuracy and reduced side effects,” said Peter Zavitsanos, MD.
