Recent advancements
and treatments are helping to improve the survival
rates, especially when the cancer is detected
early.
The National Cancer Institute estimates that 8.4
million Americans alive today have a history of
cancer. Some of these individuals can be considered
cured, while others are undergoing treatment.
At the Regional Cancer Center, our goal is to
provide comprehensive and advanced treatment delivered
by a caring and compassionate staff.
"When a patient learns that he/she must
contend with cancer, the impact on families is
as threatening as it is to the person who has
cancer," says Nancy Mattingly, a nurse
manager with the cancer program.
