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
Thibodaux Regional provides a wide range of cancer detection and prevention
screenings throughout the community and is a major source for cancer education
and information. We also make available social workers who can assist
with financial and emotional concerns.
