Email PageServices We Offer
The Cancer Center provides comprehensive services for adults with virtually any type or stage of cancer. From diagnosis to the latest treatments, our services are tailored to meet each patient's unique needs.
Diagnostic tests, including the Positron Emission Technology (PET) imaging system
- Development of an individualized plan that encompasses the very latest treatments available (surgery, radiation and chemotherapy)
- Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT). IMRT is a technological improvement that enables a more precise radiation dose to the tumor by varying the intensity and shape of the radiation beam, enhancing our ability to treat tumors while protecting normal tissue. IMRT allows higher and more effective radiation doses to be delivered to tumors with fewer side effects compared to conventional radiation therapy techniques. Read more
