World Class Cancer Care, close to home. The Cancer Center of Thibodaux Regional is a group of leading doctors, therapists, and nurses, armed with the latest technology and research, whose mission is to battle cancer and win.

Where you receive cancer treatment makes a world of difference. That’s why we’ve been providing quality cancer care for more than 13 years. As the region's first comprehensive, freestanding cancer center, we provide a full range of outpatient cancer treatments and services, complemented by strong emotional, lifestyle, and educational support. Led by board-certified oncologists, our team of highly trained technicians, therapists and nurses are among the best in their fields.

With the absolute latest technology, our patients are experiencing the benefits of earlier and more precise diagnoses, detection of small tumors, avoidance of invasive procedures and better chances of a good outcome. A team of medical professionals (specializing in medical oncology, radiation oncology, radiology, surgery, pathology, and plastic or reconstructive surgery) formulates an individualized treatment plan for each patient.



BEST TECHNOLOGY

  • Radiation Treatment - We are committed to acquiring the latest technology in the fight against cancer. That's why we have Trilogy, the newest weapon in the fight against cancer. With the Trilogy system, we can provide optimal treatment with minimal side effects to patients with brain, spine, lung, pancreas, and other cancers in critical locations. Precise and effective targeted radiation treatment with the Trilogy System means better outcomes. This powerful machine provides three forms of cancer treatment:
       Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) - IGRT accounts for patient and          tumor movement - precisely targeting the radiation.
      Stereotactic Radiosurgery - Although it’s called surgery, there’s no cutting involved – instead, high doses of radiation are delivered to tumors and other lesions with pinpoint accuracy, in 1 to 5 treatments versus 30.
       Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) - IMRT conforms to a tumor’s shape and delivers a radiation dose that is regulated, limiting radiation exposure to healthy tissue.
  • Chemotherapy Treatment -Oncology and chemotherapy certified nurses provide the latest in chemotherapy treatment 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.
  • Thibodaux Regional's new state-of-the-art Positron Emission Tomography / Computed Tomography (PET/CT) Scanner allows doctors to more accurately detect cancer and pinpoint its exact location.
  • Our Advanced Digital Mammography with computer aided detection technology helps physicians detect breast lesions more effectively than ever before. To ease discomfort, we use the MammoPad breast cushion that creates a softer, warmer mammogram.

SPECIALIZED BREAST CANCER CARE

Skilled surgeons and oncologists work together to provide breast conserving therapies   offering optimal chance for cure. As we continue our commitment to improving breast health, Thibodaux Regional offers a Breast Health Navigation Program that assists patients in receiving faster diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

Our state-of-the-art MRI can detect breast lesions that were previously undetectable. The advanced capabilities mean faster, more accurate diagnosis and treament.

SPECIALIZED PROSTATE CANCER CARE

We provide many options for the treatment of prostate cancer. Thibodaux Regional is the only hospital in the area to offer Prostate Seed Implants (brachytherapy). Performed by urologists and radiation oncologists, prostate brachytherapy utilizes state-of-the-art technology to deliver radiation directly to the prostate, while sparing nearby healthy tissue, and is one of the most effective tools in the treatment of prostate cancer.

The revolutionary da Vinci Robotic Surgical System is a minimally invasive microsurgery procedure that allows the surgeon more pinpoint movement than traditional surgery, decreasing the risk of damage to nearby tissue.

Prostate cancer patients may also be a candidate for Stereotactic Radiosurgery provided by the Trilogy system.

We provide a wide range of cancer detection and prevention screenings throughout our community, and are a major source for cancer education and information.
