About Our Cancer Center

Cancer can be a fatal disease, but together we have the power to beat it. The Cancer Center of Thibodaux Regional employs the latest technology, allowing patients to experience many benefits including earlier and more precise diagnosis, detection of small tumors, avoidance of invasive procedures, fewer side effects and better chances for a positive outcome.

Our treatments and therapies include surgery, chemotherapy, high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy, hormonal therapy, and radiation therapy. Each of these solutions may be implemented on their own or as a combination of one or more to provide the best possible treatment to every cancer patient.

Regular Screenings Available through the Cancer Center

Leading Cancer Center Technology

Thibodaux Regional invests in the latest technologies to help diagnose and treat our patients—including those receiving care in our cancer center.

  • TrueBeam Linear Accelerator
    The TrueBeam® system is a fully-integrated system for image-guided radiotherapy and radiosurgery, and is designed to treat moving targets with advanced speed and accuracy. The TrueBeam system treats cancer anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated, including lung, breast, prostate and head and neck. The PerfectPitch 6 degrees of freedom table provides advanced robotics for accurate patient setup which improves target positioning during radiation treatments.
  • TrueBeam ExacTrac Image Guided Radiotherapy
    Brainlab’s ExacTrac provides an integrated work flow with Varian’s TrueBeam. ExacTrac Image Guided Radiotherapy ensures sub-millimetric precision during radiotherapy and radiosurgery treatments. This in-room X-Ray based monitoring system has the ability to detect intra-fractional tumor motion during treatment delivery. Instantaneous X-Ray images provide clinicians with precise image fusion based on internal anatomy. A game-changing leap in innovation, the True Beam with ExacTrac performs many different treatment techniques such as stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). With its power and flexibility, clinicians can develop treatments that are best suited for patients’ individual circumstances.
  • Brachytherapy
    High Dose Rate Brachytherapy treats cancer from the inside by using a radioactive source contained within an after-loader device. The after-loader delivers the source of radiation for a brief period of time placed at the tumor site. The goal is to conform the radiation to the size and shape of the target while limiting side effects by sparing the surrounding healthy anatomy.
  • RapidArc Radiation Therapy Treatment
    Faster, more precise cancer treatment technology, RapidArc delivers a tightly-focused beam of radiation directly to the tumor in less than two minutes. Treatment can be delivered from nearly any angle. This results in better tumor targeting and less damage to surrounding healthy tissue. It also reduces the amount of time a patient spends in radiation treatment.
  • PET/CT Scanner
    Thibodaux Regional's state-of-the-art Positron Emission Tomography/ Computed Tomography (PET/CT) Scanner more accurately detects cancer and pinpoint its exact location. Our new PET/CT allows us to detect tumors as small as 2mm. Not only does this technology provide a higher quality image, and earlier, more precise detection, but patients receive up to 40% less radiation exposure.
  • Several Treatment Options
    Our Cancer Center employs oncology and chemotherapy certified nurses who provide the latest in chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and/or targeted therapy in a comfortable, soothing environment. Patients are encouraged to have family or friends visit during treatment.
  • Clinical Trials
    We provide our patients with access to the latest experimental cancer treatments through investigational clinical trials. The cancer doctors are always evolving and adapting the latest treatments to provide the best care possible.
