Description

Dr. Jacobs grew up in Washington and Idaho watching his mother valiantly battle colorectal cancer for 24 years. She is his inspiration for becoming an oncologist. He graduated summa cum laude from Brigham Young University. He subsequently attended UT Southwestern Medical Center where he graduated top of his class and received his MD with Distinction in Research. Dr. Jacobs later completed specialty training in Radiation Oncology at Duke University. Dr. is experienced in advanced radiation techniques including intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR), and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).

  • Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D-CRT)

    Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D-CRT) uses detailed imaging scans, such as a PET/CT, CT or ultrasound, to create a three-dimensional view of a tumor and surrounding tissues. A radiation oncologist uses these images to plan and shape radiation beams to match the tumor’s size, shape and location. During treatment, an Elekta linear accelerator delivers high-energy radiation from multiple angles to damage cancer cell DNA, stopping cells from growing and dividing. Treatment is typically delivered over multiple sessions based on the patient’s individualized treatment plan.

  • Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy

    Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) is an advanced form of external beam radiation therapy that modulates the intensity of radiation beams to conform to the shape and contours of a tumor. This technique allows radiation oncologists to deliver precise radiation doses to the target while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. IMRT is particularly useful for treating tumors located near critical organs and other sensitive anatomical structures. Cancer Care Northwest has extensive experience providing IMRT, having offered this treatment longer than any other cancer care provider in the region.

  • Image Guided Radiation Therapy

    In Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT), radiation oncologists use x-rays or ultrasound just before or during treatment to measure any changes in size and location of the cancer. Specialized software compares these images with the original treatment plan, allowing the radiation oncology team to make precise adjustments to treatment positioning as needed.

  • Hypofractionated Radiotherapy (Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy - SBRT)

    Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT), also known as stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR), is used to treat select early-stage lung cancers, particularly in patients who are not candidates for surgery. SBRT delivers high doses of radiation to a small, precisely defined tumor over a limited number of treatment sessions, typically three to five. Treatment planning incorporates four-dimensional imaging to assess tumor movement during breathing, allowing the radiation oncology team to account for respiratory motion and accurately target the tumor. Multiple radiation beams are delivered from different angles and carefully coordinated to concentrate the prescribed dose on the tumor while limiting exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.

  • High-dose Rate Brachytherapy

    CCNW radiation oncologists were the first in Spokane to provide high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy for treatment of several types of cancer, including cervical, endometrial, vaginal and prostate cancers, and may be used alone or in combination with other treatments. This method of treatment involves inserting a temporary catheter (or catheters) next to or directly into the cancerous tissue. The catheter serves as the channel for the delivery of extremely powerful doses of radiation in quick, short bursts by a tiny “radioactive seed” that is welded on the end of a wire. This is robotically controlled by a precise computerized delivery system. HDR brachytherapy delivers complete doses of radiation more quickly than in traditional brachytherapy, which gradually releases the radiation over a period of several days or months.

  • Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT)

    Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) is a specialized form of radiation therapy delivered directly to a tumor bed or targeted area during surgery. While the area is exposed during the procedure, a concentrated dose of radiation is administered to the treatment site, allowing nearby healthy tissues to be moved or shielded when possible. IORT may be used when cancer is located near critical structures or when there is a risk of microscopic cancer cells remaining after tumor removal. Depending on the cancer type and treatment plan, it may be used as an alternative to or in combination with external beam radiation therapy.

  • Radiopharmaceuticals

    Radioactive pharmaceuticals are unsealed radiation sources usually given in a liquid or pill form to treat some types of cancer, including thyroid cancer, bone metastases, certain lymphomas. The radioactive materials used in radiopharmaceuticals are specifically designed to travel through the body, seek out the cancerous cells, or collect at the cancerous site. The radiation is then released at the targeted area. Radiopharmaceuticals can be injected into the body, given in the vein (IV) or taken orally.

  • Gamma Knife

    Gamma Knife is a noninvasive form of stereotactic radiosurgery that uses hundreds of precisely targeted radiation beams to treat brain tumors and other conditions without an incision. The beams converge on a defined target, delivering a high dose of radiation with submillimeter accuracy while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy brain tissue. Gamma Knife may be used to treat cancerous and noncancerous brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), trigeminal neuralgia and certain movement disorders, including tremors. Cancer Care Northwest’s radiation oncologists partner with Gamma Knife of Spokane to provide this specialized treatment.
