Overview of Cancer care
Cancer care is personal. At Saint Joseph Health System, our multidisciplinary team works together to develop a treatment plan based on your diagnosis, health and individual needs. We provide comprehensive cancer services including cancer screening and diagnostic imaging, medical oncology, radiation oncology, infusion services, inpatient care, and supportive care to address every stage of your journey. Patients across Michiana can access cancer services close to home, offering advanced care and convenience.
Cancer care may involve several types of testing and treatment depending on your diagnosis. Our team uses diagnostic services and advanced treatment technology to better understand your cancer and develop a personalized plan for your care.
Cancer screenings: Screening can help identify certain cancers earlier, when treatment may be more effective.
Diagnostic imaging: Imaging tests give your care team important information that can help detect, diagnose and monitor cancer.
Laboratory testing: Laboratory testing can help your physicians better understand your health and guide decisions throughout your care.
Chemotherapy and infusion therapy: Infusion services allow patients to receive medications and supportive treatments as part of their cancer care.
Radiation therapy: Advanced radiation technology can precisely target tumors while helping limit radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.
Supportive and rehabilitation services: Specialized services can help patients manage certain side effects and complications associated with cancer and its treatment.
