Laura, not sure, this is a breast cancer site and I don't know much about other types of cancer. I fyou mean, would the same beams be able to treat both places at once, I'd say no; they're very finely focused. But could you have the two separate treatments concurrently? That would be a question for your radiation onocologist. Sorry I couldn't be of more help to you - PJH
