Breast cancer
Our complete breast health services include advanced diagnostic imaging tools that can identify breast cancer or other breast abnormalities in women and men. Because we prioritize early detection, our dedicated, high-risk breast clinic offers a range of screening options, including:
- Genetic counseling, if you are high-risk
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Mammography
- Ultrasounds
- Ultrasound-guided biopsies
Breast cancer treatment
If an imaging test detects breast cancer, our breast cancer specialists will work with you to build a personalized treatment plan.
Common treatments we offer for breast cancer include:
- Infusion therapy, including chemotherapy
- Radiation therapy
- Surgery
Colorectal cancer
When it comes to colorectal cancer, prevention and early detection are crucial. In addition to screening services, our oncologists offer treatments tailored to your lifestyle and health needs.
Diagnosing colorectal cancer
Although it depends on your age and risk factor, screening tests we conduct include:
- Colonoscopy
- Double-contrast barium enema
- Fecal immunochemical test (FIT)
- Fecal occult blood test (FOBT)
- Stool DNA test
- Virtual colonoscopy
Treatment for colorectal cancer
We keep you, your lifestyle and your family in mind when building out your plan for treatment, should you receive a diagnosis. Your treatment plan may include:
- Infusion therapy, including chemotherapy
- Medications
- Radiation therapy
- Surgery
Gynecological cancer
An important part of early detection of the various types of gynecological cancer is preventative care. We screen for cancer and look for abnormalities during your yearly exams, which usually include a Pap smear, annual pelvic exam and a human papillomavirus (HPV) test.
Treatment for gynecological cancer
Even though there are many different types of gynecological cancer, our obstetrician-gynecologists (OB/GYNs) usually treat them with the same range of services. These treatments include:
- Chemotherapy
- Medications
- Radiation therapy
- Surgery, such as a hysterectomy
Lung cancer
Our oncologists prioritize the medical care you receive for lung cancer, which is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths for both men and women. We offer advanced diagnostic technology and robust treatment options.
A low-dose computerized tomography (CT) scan is a reliable way to catch lung cancer early. If you are high-risk for lung cancer, it is recommended you get a yearly low-dose CT (LDCT) scan.
Treatment for lung cancer
Our lung cancer specialists offer chemotherapy, radiation therapy and a range of surgical procedures to help treat this type of cancer. We also offer additional support and resources for you and your family along the way.
Nurse navigator services
Our nurse navigators guide you and your family throughout your treatment journey. Your nurse navigator will support you:
- At the time of diagnosis
- With appointment scheduling between specialists
- In preparation for and after surgery, if needed
- With follow-up appointments
Your nurse navigator can also help you access additional community services and oncology support groups, as well as connect you with tobacco cessation counselors.
