MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRDear Colleagues:

With the UK Markey Cancer Center Department of Radiation Oncology, you’re in good hands. Our team is dedicated to finding the best treatment solution for each individual patient and providing the most advanced radiation care in a supportive environment.

We offer comprehensive radiation oncology services and leading-edge technology to treat all cancer types and, as appropriate, select benign conditions managed with radiation, such as trigeminal neuralgia. Our highly trained and specialized faculty and staff routinely handle the most complex radiation oncology cases throughout Kentucky and the region.

As part of the UK Markey Cancer Center, we take a cooperative, highly integrated approach to delivering care. This means our patients have access to experts in every medical and surgical subspecialty, as well as important investigative therapies through clinical trials – all in an effort to achieve the best outcomes.

All of our team members – radiation oncologists, nurses, medical physicists, dosimetrists, radiation therapists and others – are committed to ensuring the highest level of radiation oncology treatment for every patient every day.

Kindest regards,

Marcus E. Randall, MD, FACR, FASTROChair, Department of Radiation Medicine
