Radiation Oncology Services

At the beginning of March 2019, patients began receiving cancer treatment inside the newly opened Palomar Health Outpatient Center Escondido on the campus of Palomar Medical Center Escondido. 

With the opening of the location, Radiation Oncology Services purchased all new equipment, including:

• Two industry-leading Varian cancer treatment systems. 
• A Philips CT Simulator for precise tumor detection. 
• A $4 million TrueBeam cancer treatment system that offers the latest in technological development. This equipment has the ability to safely deliver higher doses of radiation in narrowly targeted areas while leaving surrounding healthy tissue unaffected. It can also complete treatment in a few minutes, as opposed to 30+ minutes.
