Diagnostic and Treatment Options
At Lourdes, our focus is on providing patients with the latest advances in diagnosis and treatment. We emphasize those procedures that offer fewer side effects, faster recovery and better outcomes.
As cancer care improves, procedures for treating the disease become more targeted and less invasive. Advanced treatments include precise delivery of a combination of therapies (radiation, chemotherapy and surgery) to provide patients with the greatest opportunity for recovery. Chemotherapy protocols change constantly to incorporate newer drugs that are gentler and more effective at curing or controlling disease. High-tech diagnostic techniques also improve how early we can discover cancer. Some of the advanced diagnostic and treatments services include:
