The Cancer Institute offers services from prevention to treatment and support. PET/CT and a high-energy linear accelerator, along with a state-of-the-art simulator and 3-D treatment planning, makes radiation treatments among the most progressive in the region. Implants for cancer treatment, outpatient chemotherapy, plus access to cancer research and clinical trials round on the treatment options.
Going hand in hand with the most advanced treatments are physicians, oncology trained nurses, radiation therapist and other professionals ready to offer physical, emotional and spiritual counseling. Out inpatient registered nurses attend Oncology Nursing Society's Cancer Chemotherapy course and complete competencies in chemotherapy administration.
