Shortening the road to cancer recovery.

It’s a new, promising day for those in Onslow County who are battling cancer. Onslow Radiation Oncology, conveniently located on the Onslow Memorial Hospital campus, is now filled with the best people and technology and is ready to help. Better still, it’s local. This means fewer drives to distant locations. Less time at hotels. Less money spent on gas, fewer sick days at work, and fewer hassles all around. Because frankly, being sick with cancer is challenging enough.

Julian Rosenman speaks with News 14 Carolina about Onslow's Radiation Oncology center and the linear accelerator.Because Onslow Radiation Oncology is a partnership between two top health providers who are committed to delivering the best local care, Onslow Memorial Hospital and University Health Systems Pitt County Memorial Hospital, you’ll find no better care in the state.

At the heart of Onslow Radiation Oncology is a state-of-the-art linear accelerator which provides multiple varieties of therapy, precisely directed to the area where it’s needed. To further ensure accuracy, the center also houses a high-speed CT simulator, which allows for optimal treatment planning and delivery. Mobile PET/CT scanning is also used, offering the most thorough level of cancer detection and treatment coordination.

The latest technology, however, cannot replace the power of experienced, dedicated, caring people and this is what you’ll find here. Our staff sees themselves as healers first, technologists second, and always as collaborative partners with your primary physician and oncologist.
