>>Cancer rivalries intensify
Fox Chase Cancer Center raised the bar in the increasingly competitive cancer-care arena this week with the opening of its $14 million radiation therapy center in Buckingham in Bucks County.

The Buckingham center will have all of the same technology found at the main campus, plus something the Philadelphia site doesn’t have: a CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery system.
“The CyberKnife allows for a more precise treatment of tumors,” said Hayes, director of Fox Chase Cancer Center Buckingham. “It delivers a higher dose of radiation to a smaller area, and it provides real-time imaging of a tumor while it is being treated so you adjust the treatment to the motion of the tumor. Tumors do move during treatment.”
