- Bladder CancerThe wall of the bladder has several layers. The urinary bladder consists of three layers that are the epithelium and the subepithelial connective tissue, the muscularis, and perivesical fat. From the three main types of bladder cancers, Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), accounts for nearly 90 percent of cases. Less common bladder cancers types include squamous cell carcinomas. Different types of bladder cancers are treated differently and treatment process may vary from patient to patient.
- Ovarian CancerAbout 5-20 percent of women with breast cancer have several relatives who have had breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer.
- Cervical CancerCervical cancer is a disease in which cancer cells are found in the tissues of the cervix. The cervix is the opening of the uterus, extending into the upper end of the vagina. Almost all cases of cervical cancer can be linked to the human papilloma virus (HPV), a sexually transmitted virus.
- Prostate CancerCancer of this type is most common amongst young men. Prostate cancer is the growth of malignant class in the prostate. The prostate is a size of a walnut and it is located below the bladder and in front of the rectum at the bottom of his pelvis. Its purpose is to make and store seminal fluid, a milky liquid that nourishes sperm. The gland helps regulate both bladder control and normal sexual functioning. Nearly 230,000 new cases and 30,000 deaths are expected. The American Society of Reproductive Medicine concludes that prostate cancer occurs in men 65 years of age or older.
- Cancer CareThe Practice of Cancer Care Institute is required by applicable federal and state laws to maintain the privacy of your health information. Protected health information (PHI) is the information we create and maintain in the course of providing our services to you.

We are permitted by federal privacy law (the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA)), to use and disclose your PHI, without your written authorization, for purposes of treatment, payment, and health care operations.
- Lung CancerLung cancer refers to malignant tumors that originate in the lung itself. There are two major types of lung cancers: non-small cell and small cell. Each type of lung cancer grows and spreads in different ways and is treated differently.
- Diabetes Care
- UltrasoundExamination of the pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound are performed. Transaginal ultrasound is an instrument inserted into the vagina, where high-fequency sound waves at the uterus.
- MRIMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using an endorectal or surface coil to help assess the extent of the tumor in the prostate and surrounding tissues
- RadiologyKerry has been working in the field of therapeutic medical physics and has 16 years of clinical experience. She is board certified by the American Board of Radiology. She attended Wake Forest University in North Carolina where she received her Bachelor’s of Science in Physics in 1999 and Master of Science in Physics, with an emphasis in Medical Imaging in 2000. Her research has been published in 2 medical physics journals.
- X-Rays
- MammographyMammography used to detect about 40 to 50 percent of these lesions; about 35 percent of tumors detected by mammography and physical examination are invasive carcinomas smaller than 1 cm.
- Computed TomographyWe have an advanced treatment planning system that can make over 1 trillion calculations to create the most precise radiation dose plans using the CT scan obtained.
- ChemotherapyWomen with early stage breast cancer increasingly choose breast conservation therapy (BCT). In the BCT option, the cancerous tumor is surgically removed in a procedure known as lumpectomy. To minimize the chances of the cancer recurrence, physicians recommend a course of follow-up treatments which always includes radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy and/or hormonal therapy.
- Radiation TherapyWhen your cancer is found early, your doctor can determine if 5-Day Targeted Radiation Therapy could be used following your lumpectomy. It only takes 5 days, and it targets the radiation at the area that the cancer is most likely to recur. This method of radiation therapy works from inside the lumpectomy cavity vs. whole breast radiation, which comes from the outside.
- Radiation OncologyFirst, the patient is referred to our Radiation Oncology office as an outpatient which allows the patient to receive treatment and hen return home the same day. A series of appointments are setup for the patient and are scheduled to be completed over several days. These appointment will include visits for consultation, planning, film check, and treatment.
- Hysterectomy
- LesionsRisk factors for head and neck cancers include the use of tobacco products, second hand smoke, alcohol, a history of pre-cancerous lesions, and exposure to the cancer-causing agents in the environment.
