Oncology

Whether it's time for a yearly mammogram or your doctor has recommended another specific screening, we understand you may feel anxious or nervous. The trained technicians at our diagnostic imaging center and Breast Care Center produce accurate and fast results. Our screenings include mammography and ultrasound to detect breast cancer, colonoscopy to screen for colorectal cancer and digital rectal exams and prostate-specific antigen tests for identifying prostate cancer.

Depending on your diagnosis, you may need surgery to biopsy or remove masses or tumors, reconstruct damaged tissue or implant a cancer-reducing device. Our team performs lumpectomies and mastectomies to treat breast cancer and radical prostatectomies to remove the prostate.

We may recommend chemotherapy as a treatment for your cancer. Chemotherapy is a powerful medicine used to stop the growth and reproduction of cancer cells within the body.

We also offer radiation oncology (or “radiation therapy”). This treatment uses high-energy radiation beams to break down the DNA of cancer cells so the cancerous cells cannot divide or continue to grow.

Cancer education and one-on-one support are key focuses for our cancer care team. We educate you about your diagnosis, and we help you understand your diet and nutrition options during and after treatment. We also offer religious support, cancer care support groups and social services to help you on your care journey.

Cancer and its treatments can be hard on the body. We offer physical therapy and rehabilitation services and will work with you every step of the way on your path to recovery. Our licensed physical therapists and rehabilitation specialists use personalized programs to help you regain your independence, strength and mobility to help you live your healthiest life.
