Treatments and Services


Cardio-oncology

Patients with cancer may have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease since some therapy affects the heart and vascular systems. The Regional Cancer Center’s cardio-oncologist monitors and treats heart function during cancer care. With early recognition and treatment, we can successfully manage many complications of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Lung Cancer Screening Program

The benefits of a lung cancer screening speak for themselves: The 5-year survival rate dramatically improves to 68-92 percent if we diagnose lung cancer in stage 1. A stage 4 diagnosis, on the other hand, results in a zero to 10 percent survival rate. So the sooner a cancer is found, the better.

Palliative Care

It’s all about quality of life: Our palliative care specialists help patients feel relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of serious illness. We collaborate with other disciplines – pharmacists, nurses, chaplains, social workers, psychologists, and other health professionals – to determine a plan of care that addresses the physical, emotional, spiritual, and social needs of each patient.

Palliative care can be delivered at the same time as life-prolonging care or as the main focus. All cancer patients get screened for palliative care at their initial visit, at appropriate intervals, and as clinically indicated by National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines. If you need to speak with our team of palliative care professionals, please call 239-343-9560.
