Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is using a specific chemical or combination of medications to treat cancer. A chemo drug or combination of drugs can be administered through a vein, through an injection into a body cavity, or through a pill taken orally.

• Cure Cancer
• Slow the growth of a particular cancer
• Prevent cancer cells from spreading to other parts of the body
• Destroy cancer cells that have spread to other parts of the body
• Relieve pain or blockages caused by cancer

Radiation Therapy

Radiation Therapy is the use of high-energy particle waves such as X-rays, protons, gamma rays, or electron beams to destroy or damage cancer cells. Our experienced team works together using a CT Scan and Computer planning system to create a treatment plan specifically designed for each patient to maximize the possibility of a cure and minimize side effects. Our priority at the Community Cancer Center is to provide a treatment that is safe and effective.
