Based in Sarasota, Florida, Dr. Alan H. Porter earned his medical degree from the University of Florida and is a board-certified physician and a fellow of the American College of Radiology. Dr. Alan Porter is the founder and director of Porter Radiation Oncology Centers.
In business for over 40 years and accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR), Porter Radiation Oncology provides leading-edge radiation treatments such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in a private clinic environment. IMRT is a newer type of radiation treatment that relies on computer-generated images to target tumors according to their shape using precise doses of radiation. During IMRT treatments, the intensity of radiation is varied to treat the tumor.
The key benefits of using IMRT include better control of tumor treatment and minimal side effects experienced by patients. Due to the precise delivery of IMRT, tumors close to vital organs and structures such as the optic nerve and salivary glands can be more safely treated, as the surrounding tissues are less affected in comparison to traditional radiation treatments.
