Recognizing the importance of treating the whole person and not just the disease, the Henry Ford Cottage team of board-certified radiation oncologists, therapists, nurses, dosimetrist, and physicist offer technically advanced and personally delivered cancer treatment in a supportive, compassionate and comforting environment.

The Center for Radiation Oncology is affiliated with Henry Ford Health System's Josephine Ford Cancer Center, giving eastside residents access to the most advanced cancer diagnosis and treatment protocols available, without leaving the neighborhood.

Henry Ford Cottage Hernia Center and Henry Ford Hospital are the only locations in the tri-county area to offer the Calypso 4-D system, advanced technology used in radiation treatment for prostate cancer. The Calypso technology allows radiation oncologists to precisely target cancerous tissues, ensuring that healthy tissues are untouched by radiation. At the same time, the physician can deliver a more potent dose and more effectively treat the cancer.

For more information about the Edith McNaughton Ford Center for Radiation Oncology and the Calypso 4-D system, call (313) 640-2400. Patients anticipating radiation treatment for the prostate can also ask their urologist for a referral.
