Specialized cancer care for your heart
After your oncologist creates your care plan, a cardiologist may monitor you for heart problems during and after cancer treatment. Cardio-oncologists are cardiologists that specialize in heart care for cancer patients with heart disease, heart failure or other cardiovascular conditions. Your doctor and multispecialty care team work together to help improve your quality of life by:
- Monitoring any previous or current heart conditions
- Preventing or reducing heart damage
- Screening for early detection of heart problems after cancer treatment
- Supporting your cancer therapies
Cancer Center offers advanced radiation therapy and chemotherapy
Our cancer center provides more radiation therapy options and diagnostic imaging. PET-CT scan technology provides detailed tumor images and helps monitor for cancer growth. Our linear accelerator has the flexibility to deliver radiation therapy to all parts of the body. It is commonly used for conventional external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) to deliver a shorter but more targeted dose of high-energy X-rays to destroy cancer cells in the tumor region. The linear accelerator can also be used for intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery. We have created a more comfortable, private infusion therapy and chemotherapy experience. Our patient navigators and nurses focus on your needs and help coordinate your cancer treatments and appointments to minimize extensive travel.
