Radiation oncologist Loren Godfrey, M.D., specializes in the treatment of head and neck cancers, gynecologic cancers, and breast cancer. He is skilled in the use of brachytherapy, in which implanted seeds or thin catheters are used to deliver radiation therapy directly into tumors. His clinical skills include intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)/image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) to treat gynecologic and head and neck cancers; both low-dose-rate and high-dose-rate gynecologic brachytherapy; and accelerated partial breast irradiation with the MammositeTM brachytherapy system.  He is also experienced in interstitial brachytherapy for prostate cancer, endobronchial brachytherapy for lung cancer, intracranial brachytherapy for malignant brain tumors, intraoperative radiotherapy for abdomiopelvic cancers, and radioisotope therapies for bone metastases.
At The Cancer Center, Dr. Godfrey has developed organ preservation protocols to treat certain types of head and neck cancers, including oropharyngeal and laryngeal cancers. Organ preservation therapy bypasses surgery and combines chemotherapy with intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT). These techniques save organs such as the larynx, tongue, and other structures that are responsible for the vital functions of speech, swallowing, and eating.
