Radiation/Oncology Services
At some point in their lives, three out of four American families will be touched by cancer. But the good news is that over half of the people diagnosed with cancer will survive. Cancers that claimed thousands of lives are now often being cured, including acute lymphatic leukemia and Hodgkin's Disease.
St. Catherine Hospital has long been a place of hope and healing for Northwest Indiana cancer patients. We were the first hospital in the area to offer radiation oncology services. Today, through our comprehensive program of cancer treatment and prevention services, we're helping families fight back against this terrible disease and live to tell about it.
Our services include:
- Complete medical and surgical oncology services
- Prevention and early detection programs
- A Radiation Oncology Center
- "Make Today Count," support groups for cancer patients and their families. We also have "New Horizons" support group run by pastoral care.
- The Tumor Board, a multidisciplinary team of physicians that meets twice monthly to make recommendations about the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of each cancer case.
- A physician cancer committee that regularly reviews the quality of our services.
- A cancer registry that tracks the frequency of cancer types in Northwest Indiana.
