- Primary CareOur radiation oncologists are leaders in their field with a national reputation for excellence. They’ve trained at the most prestigious institutions in the country and are noted experts in the treatment of prostate, lung, breast, gastrointestinal, brain, and other cancers. Our doctors oversee all radiation therapy treatments and work with your other doctors—medical oncologists, surgeons, primary care physicians and others—to deliver precise, personalized care to meet your individual needs.
- Emergency CareCo-payments – A co-payment (also called a “co-pay”) is a fixed fee the patient pays to the doctor or medical provider for each visit or service. Co-pays can be $5, $20, $35 or more. The insurance company sets the amount of the fee. You will make co-payments for office visits, emergency room visits, hospital admissions and other medical care.
- Internal MedicineDr. Soni attended college at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA, and medical school at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA. She completed an internal medicine internship at Georgetown University/Washington Hospital Center in Washington, DC. Following her internship, she completed a radiation oncology residency at the University of Michigan, where she served during her final year as Chief Resident.
- UrologySurgery (“radical prostatectomy”) has been the standard of care for prostate cancer for the past 150 years. Although effective, radical prostatectomies are invasive and not without complications. But then, shortly after the discovery of X-rays and radium at the turn of the last century, physicians began to explore how these modalities might improve survival and decrease potential side effects from the radical surgery. In 1917, Dr. Benjamin Barringer, chief of urology at what is now known as Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital, espoused the use of radium needles for prostate cancer.
- Colon Cancer
- Prostate CancerProstate seed implantation is a minimally invasive procedure for treating prostate cancer in which radioactive seeds are placed in the prostate gland to target cancer cells while maximizing the preservation of healthy tissue. This outpatient procedure requires general anesthesia and takes only a few hours. Most patients return to normal activities within two to three days.
- Cancer CareThat’s why we’re excited to have joined forces with the medical oncologists at Astera Cancer Care. Part of the one of the largest cancer-care teams on the East Coast, Astera Cancer Care offers the complete range of state-of-the-art medical oncology treatments delivered by more than 20 board-certified specialists.
- Lung CancerAt Princeton Radiation Oncology, we use SBRT most often to treat early stage lung cancer as well as tumors of the spine, liver, adrenal glands, and other organs.
- Mental HealthCancer Support Community Central New Jersey (CSCCNJ) offers support to all people affected by cancer, including loved ones. During this health emergency, CSCCNJ’s program is virtual, with support being offered to you at your home. For individual and/or group support, including bereavement, call 908-658-5400, ext 4. Learn more and register by visiting https://www.cancersupportcnj.org/virtual/.
- UltrasoundIn 1987, Dr. John Blasko from Seattle described a reproducible system to implant radioactive iodine seeds in the prostate. This Seattle system employs a rectal ultrasound probe to directly visualize the prostate and a plastic template placed on the patient’s perineum (region between the scrotum and the rectum). The template guides the placement of the needles that are loaded with radioactive seeds. This technique allows a reproducible, uniform dose distribution to the prostate.
- MRITo determine if you’re a good candidate for SRS, you’ll meet with a Princeton Radiation Oncology radiation oncologist and a neurosurgeon. If it’s determined that SRS is the best course of treatment, you’ll have a special MRI scan. Prior to your SRS treatment, we combine these MRI images with CT images using our Brainlab technology.
- RadiologyThe leader of your Personal Care Team, your radiation oncologist is a specialist in treating cancer with radiation. At Princeton Radiation Oncology Center, all our radiation oncologists are board-certified by the American Board of Radiology. Your radiation oncologist is responsible for planning your care and prescribing and supervising your treatment.
- X-Rays
- Computed TomographyOur radiation oncologists custom-design the positioning and treatment delivery to your individual needs to minimize movement of the treatment target. We use specialized molds and casts to prevent movement. With SBRT, multiple beams of radiation are delivered to the tumor through a variety of different pathways to the target. We take CT scans or X-rays to precisely determine the target’s location, shape and size and to plan the different treatment delivery pathways (called “fractions”). While we deliver the full dose to the tumor, each pathway to the target receives only a small fraction of the total dose.
- ChemotherapyPatients in chemotherapy and/or radiation treatment are immune-compromised and at very high risk if exposed to the COVID-19 coronavirus. So we’re partnering with the community to gather and make available resources for grocery pickup and delivery for our patients.
- Radiation TherapyEvery cancer is unique, just like every person. This means every treatment plan is similarly one-of-a-kind. Yet, it’s a pretty sure bet that the care you or your loved one receives to fight cancer will include more than just radiation therapy.

- Skin CancerFor many types of early stage non-melanoma skin cancers, radiation is an excellent curative treatment option. This includes basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma cancers. Also, radiation treatment for skin cancer can be delivered in two ways, depending on the size and location of the cancer.
