InterCommunity Cancer Center has more technology options than ever before for the treatment of all types of cancer including Calypso GPS for the Body® used in the treatment of prostate cancer.

Exclusively at InterCommunity Cancer Center, Calypso uses three tiny Beacon transponders, each the size of a grain of rice, implanted in the prostate to continuously track the exact location of the cancerous tumor. This technology allows precise targeting of the radiation beam, with higher doses of radiation to target the cancerous tumor, while reducing side effects by avoiding surrounding healthy tissues and organs.

Together we can provide powerful outcomes for you.
