Diagnosis and Treatment
A cancer diagnosis means finding out if cancer is in the body. Doctors use different tests to help make this diagnosis:
- Imaging tests like X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs show where cancer may be growing.
- Biopsies check a small sample of tissue to confirm if cancer cells are present.
- These tests help determine:
- The type of cancer
- The location in the body
- How advanced the cancer is (the stage)
This information helps your care team create a treatment plan that’s right for you.
Why it matters:
- Finding cancer early gives you more treatment options
- Early care can lead to better results and a faster recovery
At the William N. Pennington Cancer Institute, patients have access to a comprehensive array of leading-edge treatments for cancer. These options span from traditional methods such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery to innovative approaches like participation in clinical trials. Our commitment to providing advanced care ensures that patients receive personalized treatment plans tailored to their specific needs and conditions.
