When you have prostate cancer – or any cancer for that matter and need radiation, you want the top radiation oncologist in your corner. That means a radiation oncologist with experience, the knowledge to treat you, and just as important, one who has compassion.
In South Florida, Dr. Mark Pomper, board-certified radiation oncologist and medical director is the top radiation oncologist with CyberKnife radiotherapy. And CyberKnife Center of Miami, is South Florida’s state-of-the art radiation treatment center for cancer.
“My passion is helping people!” says Dr. Pomper. “In addition to curing cancer and alleviating pain and symptoms, I feel it’s my mission to help patients understand that cancer is most often not a death sentence anymore.”
CyberKnife Miami’s Pioneering Presence
In a ground-breaking move, Dr. James G. Schwade and his team opened CyberKnife Miami more than 20 years ago. Dr. Pomper was one of the first radiation oncologist trained in the use of CyberKnife Radiotherapy. CyberKnife Miami was the first CyberKnife center in South Florida and only the eleventh to open in the United States.
CyberKnife uses a highly targeted form of radiation known as SRS (stereotactic radiosurgery) and SBRT (stereotactic body radiation therapy) to treat tumors anywhere in the body.
- With CyberKnife, treatment times are faster.
- Treatment can be completed in one to five sessions, unlike traditional radiation, which takes up to 42 treatments spanning as much as three months.
- And the CyberKnife success rate is excellent.
“Today we have many weapons to battle this disease and we’re equipped with the most non-invasive, powerful and best radiation therapy technology available worldwide,” Dr. Pomper says. “Our radiation technology is the most accurate, targeting only the cancer site, greatly reducing the risk of side effects to other areas of the body. Our highly experienced doctors and medical team can often cure patients and/or help them manage cancer much like a chronic illness.”
And just as important as the technology is Dr. Pomper and his staff’s ability to empathize with their patients.
“Over the last 20 plus years we have treated thousands of patients throughout South Florida and from many other parts of the country and worldwide with the least disruption to their lives. We are here if you need us. We will help you choose the best treatment option for your needs with the best possible outcome. We put patients first, making cancer treatment as effective, easy, and painless as possible,” Dr. Pomper emphasizes.
CyberKnife Miami’s Dr. Pomper: Top-Notch Bedside Manner
Just ask Clinton and Rhonda Ward. Mr. Ward was first treated at CyberKnife Miami for prostate cancer, and then many years later, after it had spread, he came back to CyberKnife Miami for additional radiation therapy.
“The medical care and service they provide at CyberKnife Miami is excellent. Like none other. They treat you as if you are the most important person in the world. Like you are the president of the United States or leader of any country. Their bedside manner is excellent,” says Rhonda, Clinton Ward’s wife.
CyberKnife Miami: Trust and Experience
There are many reasons CyberKnife Miami is viewed as one of the best radiation therapy centers with the top doctors in South Florida. CyberKnife Miami is also one of the most respected centers devoted to providing the highest quality of care.
Dr. Pomper is Considered One of the Top Radiation Oncologist for Prostate Cancer in Miami by His Patients:
“When I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, I thought my world was coming to an end,” said Howard, another CyberKnife Miami patient. “Dr. Pomper is very compassionate, he explained everything very professionally and he addressed my fears because I was very nervous.”
“Everyone at CyberKnife Miami made me feel so comfortable and are so nice. I cannot say enough great things about them,” says patient Mike Cibula, who was treated for prostate cancer 10 years ago. “All of the doctors work together as a team. They were all there for my first treatment, and they continued to call to see how I was doing. Their compassion is just incredible.”
