When we hear the word “cancer”, one cannot help but think of the impending doom that comes with it. People who live through cancer know the challenges that come when in recovery or remission. And cancer affects not only just the patients but their family and friends’ lives as well. To help raise awareness about cancer survivors, June was designated as National Cancer Survivor Month. This month exists as a special celebration for those who have survived cancer. At Orange County CyberKnife & Oncology Center, we want to bring awareness to cancer survivors. We also have tips for those who have just recovered from cancer and are looking for help and resources.

This month the team at Orange County CyberKnife is spreading awareness about a type of cancer responsible for 200,000 cases in the US each year. Colorectal, or colon cancer, is a very common cancer that affects any part of the lower digestive tract including the colon or rectum. For patients looking to step up their cancer treatment, our Orange County radiation oncology center is equipped with revolutionary cancer-fighting technology.

At Orange County CyberKnife, we apply unparalleled CyberKnife technology to the treatment of a wide range of cancer types, including head and neck cancer, an umbrella term for cancers affecting different parts of the head and neck, including the throat and oral cavity. Patients who visit our Orange County oncology center receive a unique form of radiation therapy that delivers precise results and has a lower impact on the healthy tissues of the body. Find out who is at risk of head and neck cancer, and how we use CyberKnife to treat it.
