CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Jan. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- On Friday, January 22(nd) Congressman Rod Blum visited Cedar Rapids, Iowa to tour the world class services provided by Paramount Oncology Group at the newly opened Albert G. and Helen Nassif Radiation Center. The Center is staffed by board certified Radiation Oncologists who are recognized experts in their fields providing External Beam radiation, Stereotactic RadioSurgery, Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy, Trubeam Image Guided Radiation Therapy, Intra Operative Radiation Therapy and High Dose Rate Brachytherapy. In addition, Paramount Oncology Group recently became the first and only certified prescriber of Optune to provide Tumor Treating Fields for the treatment of Glioblastoma.
Paramount Oncology Group was founded in 2011 when Dr. Bobby Koneru recognized that both university and community cancer care had gaps in applying process driven, breakthrough radiation treatments in a compassionate, personalized manner. Dr. Koneru applied his background as a Northwestern University Faculty member in Radiation Oncology, TEDx speaker and nationally recognized expert on Stereotactic Radiosurgery to form Paramount Oncology Group (POG) with the purpose of delivering world class cancer care within smaller communities. Paramount Oncology Group is driven to transform radiation delivery through collaborative POG pathways, a premier team of board certified experts and the latest treatment techniques.
