Radiation Oncology

This service is under the direction of radiation oncologists Dr. Morgan Barrett and Dr. Patricia Barrett. The Radiation Therapy Department is staffed by personnel, who are credentialed and trained in treatment planning, treatment delivery and individualized nursing care. Our caring staff works together with the patient and physicians to ensure the most effective treatment. Radiation treatment is delivered by a linear accelerator, which is specifically configured to allow radiation to reach the cancerous tumor while protecting the healthy surrounding tissue.


	Cancer Registry
	A cancer registry department systematically collects data about cancer and tumor diseases. The goal of hospital cancer registries is to accurately track cancer data for improvement in planning and cancer care. OMC employs a cancer registrar who records all cases of cancer at the medical center. This data is reviewed at a tumor conference held every two weeks at OMC and is then submitted to the State of Missouri Department of Health and Statistics.
