What does CMRO mean in ONCOLOGY

At CMRO we provide comprehensive cancer care services including radiation therapy consultation & planning, simulation & imaging services, advanced image-guided radiation therapy techniques, brachytherapy/seed implant therapies, and follow up support services.

Side effects from radiation treatments can vary depending on the type of treatment received and the area being treated. Common side effects may include skin changes such as redness or dryness around the area being treated; fatigue; nausea; and loss of appetite. Your doctor will discuss potential side effects with you beforehand so that you can be prepared for them.

The number of treatments required varies depending on your individual case and treatment plan. Generally speaking, most people need to receive daily radiation treatments over a period of several weeks to complete their course of treatment. Your doctor will provide more information about your specific course of treatment during your initial consultation appointment.

Before beginning your course of radiation therapy, your doctor may suggest certain lifestyle changes to ensure that you get the most out of your treatment such as quitting smoking or reducing alcohol consumption. Also be sure to communicate any health concerns or changes with your doctor prior to each treatment session.

When visiting CMRO for the first time please be sure to bring a valid photo ID card (i.e., driver's license), insurance information (if applicable), physician referral (if applicable) and any other pertinent information related to your medical history or condition (i.e., medical records or imaging results).
