While in medical school, Collin Noldner, MD, had a family member who was diagnosed with cancer. When he saw how incredible the treatment team was toward his loved one, he decided to focus his career in cancer care.
If cancer touches your life or someone you love, find compassionate and expert care with Dr. Noldner, a radiation oncologist, at Avera Cancer Institute in Marshall, MN.
“It’s rewarding,” he said. “I get to spend a lot of time with patients, getting to know them and their families on a personal level.”
Expert Care in Radioation Oncology
Radiation oncology aims to treat cancer and benign tumors with radiation or radiosurgery. This therapy uses beams of radiation that are focused on the tumor or abnormal tissue, while leaving surrounding tissue intact. As a result, the tumor’s DNA and potential for growth is destroyed.
It often works in tandem with other treatment options, such as medication and chemotherapy. As your radiation oncologist, Dr. Noldner collaborates closely with other experts to ensure you receive the most personalized, well-rounded care.
In addition, Dr. Noldner strives to stay informed on new innovations within radiation oncology. By staying up-to-date on education and research articles, he can advocate for the most cutting-edge treatment options available to patients.
“We’re always trying to improve outcomes and the patient experience,” he said.
Active Lifestyle
“Overall, I’m a curious person,” said Dr. Noldner. He enjoys spending time outdoors, either golfing or playing tennis — he was a tennis player in college. He also likes to read and is learning how to play the piano.
