A variety of advanced modes of cancer diagnosis and treatment are offered for most types of childhood and adult cancers, including breast, head and neck, gynecological, prostate, lung, colon, blood and skin cancers. Sophisticated PET/CT scanners (Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography) dramatically improve doctors' ability to diagnose, treat and monitor cancer. Surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy treatment options are offered to children and adults with cancer.
Examples are the newest uses of targeting radiation to the specific shape and size of a tumor, radioactive seed implants, high dose rate brachytherapy, and Gamma Knife and other types of radiosurgery (surgery that uses radiation instead of a surgical incision). Our cancer specialists have access to about 100 clinical research studies that offer the most current treatments available.
