Our Regional Cancer Center includes a relocated and expanded chemotherapy center that provides greater privacy, physician interaction and support for all of our cancer patients. Our partnership with Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center enables us to participate in clinical trials of new cancer fighting drugs. Our professionals focus on detection, treatment, and management of your condition. We work with and for you.
Accurate diagnosis is the first step towards an effective care plan.
The Ambulatory Chemotherapy Center works closely with your doctor and radiology, surgery and radiation oncology departments to ensure that you receive a thorough evaluation using the latest medical advances and technology. Other support services include pharmacy services, Dietary Services, Medical Records, and Social Services. The administration of drug therapy is sometimes used alone, but more often in conjunction with radiation oncology or surgery. Chemotherapy can result in success curing certain cancers, slowing cancer growth, achieving remissions, and relieving disease related symptoms. There are hundreds of different chemotherapy drugs.
