The Cancer Center

Susan Boylan
Susan Boylan, M.D., is the medical director of the Potomac Radiation Oncology Center. She’s been at Potomac Hospital since 1987.

Accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer, the Cancer Center at Potomac Hospital offers a full-range of diagnostic
and treatment options for patients with cancer, as well as a number of programs to help prevent and manage this disease.

While the outlook for cancer patients is better today than ever before, cancer treatment can be both time and energy intensive for patients and their families. The Cancer Center at Potomac Hospital offers a full spectrum of services close to home, so that patients do not have to spend valuable time traveling for treatment.

The Cancer Center is equipped to provide the three main treatment options - surgery, chemotherapy and state-of-the-art radiation treatment. Potomac Radiation Oncology Center offers the latest digitally computerized equipment including a linear accelerator and simulator, which help doctors pinpoint the exact area for radiation treatment.

Cancer patients and their families benefit from several educational and support programs. Several cancer support groups meet monthly and enable patients and families to learn more about their disease.
