Cancer Care

  • Digital Mammography
  • Bronchoscopy
  • Computerized Tomography (CT)
  • Endoscopy
  • Fiber Optics

  • Stereotactic Breast Biopsy

  • Sentinel Node Biopsy
  • Minimally Invasive Surgical Biopsy
  • Bone Densitometry

A patient's family physician is involved throughout the diagnosis and treatment process.

The Cancer Care Team

As cancer care becomes more specialized, patients and their families work with a team throughout the treatment process. Each team brings together professionals with experience and expertise in a range of disciplines - medicine, nursing, social work, psychology, pastoral counseling, pharmacology, nutrition and rehabilitation. The oncology nursing staff is made up of highly skilled and trained nurses whose specialized nursing skills, along with a genuine concern for each patient, translate into superior care.

The team's collaboration strengthens the individual treatment plan, encourages patient involvement and ensures a continuous flow of communication. This underlying spirit of cooperation fosters a climate of trust and concern that is conducive to healing.
