Finding out you have breast cancer can be overwhelming, bringing with it a whirlwind of emotions and questions. During such a critical time, having access to advanced, compassionate care close to home makes all the difference. In Cullman, Alabama, Lifefirst Imaging and Oncology stands as a beacon of hope, led by the highly experienced and board-certified Radiation Oncologist, Dr. Vincent Karolewics.

Over 30 Years of Dedicated Experience

Dr. Karolewics brings over three decades of specialized experience in radiation oncology to our community. His extensive knowledge and unwavering dedication mean that patients receive care grounded in a deep understanding of cancer biology and the most effective treatment strategies. He leads a team of compassionate professionals who are not just experts in their field, but also genuinely committed to supporting patients and their families through every step of their journey.

Cutting-Edge Technology for Precision Treatment

At Lifefirst Imaging and Oncology, we believe that fighting breast cancer requires the most sophisticated tools available. That's why we utilize state-of-the-art technology, ensuring treatment is as precise and effective as possible.

One of our key technologies is the Varian TrueBeam™ system. This advanced linear accelerator delivers highly targeted radiation therapy with incredible accuracy and speed. It allows for: 

  • Precision Targeting: Delivering radiation directly to the tumor while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. 
  • Faster Treatments: Shorter treatment sessions mean less time on the treatment table and more time for you. 
  • Enhanced Comfort: Advanced features are designed to improve patient comfort throughout the treatment process.

But our commitment to personalized medicine doesn't stop there. We also incorporate a series of genetic tests to gain a deeper understanding of each patient's unique cancer. These tests can help identify specific genetic markers that influence how a cancer might behave and how it might respond to different treatments. This allows Dr. Karolewics and his team to tailor a truly individualized treatment plan, optimizing outcomes for every patient.

A Compassionate Approach to Care

We understand that breast cancer treatment is not just about technology; it's about people. Our team at Lifefirst Imaging and Oncology is renowned for its compassionate approach. From your first consultation to your last treatment session, you'll find a supportive environment where your questions are answered, your concerns are heard, and your well-being is our top priority.

Your Journey to Healing Starts Here

If you or a loved one are facing a breast cancer diagnosis, know that you don't have to travel far to receive world-class care. Dr. Vincent Karolewics and the dedicated team at Lifefirst Imaging and Oncology are here in Cullman, ready to provide the advanced treatment and compassionate support you deserve.

I've been meaning to do this for a while now! Dr Karlowics and his whole team are THE BEST!!! I believe he and his nurses were placed in their position by the Lord!! They truely care and you know that when you are their patient. They ask you how your doing and actually listen to your response and offer suggestions on how to remedy or deal with it. So many doctors that I have visited do not. They might ask how your doing but while your answering they are washing their hands or typing in their computer while nodding and you just know they arent paying attention. They just take a devestating situation and make you feel better about it. They care about your comfort through the whole process!! Definitely recommend them!!!
