Treatments

At the Enloe Health Regional Cancer Center, our physicians carefully create personalized treatment plans and use a multidisciplinary approach with each patient.

Several treatments can be incorporated into these plans, including:

• Chemotherapy and infusion
• Radiation therapy
• Surgery
• Breast cancer care
• Colorectal cancer care
• Pancreatic cancer care

Cancer Conferences

Cases can be presented at cancer conferences, which include Enloe Health caregivers who specialize in medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, pathology, radiology and supportive services. These conferences happen four times per week, with each session focusing on a different subject. These subjects include liver, pancreas (hepatobiliary), breast, general and gastrointestinal (GI). 

Immunotherapy & Hormone Therapy

Cancer patients at Enloe Health can receive immunotherapy and hormone therapy. Immunotherapy utilizes parts of a person’s immune system to fight cancer. This can happen in a few general ways:

• The treatment can boost your immune system’s natural defenses to make it work harder to locate and destroy cancer cells.
• Or artificial substances can be created to restore or improve the way your immune system works.

Hormone therapy, meanwhile, is targeted at slowing the growth of types of cancer that use hormones to grow. There are two main types of hormone therapy:

• Treatment that blocks the body’s ability to produce hormones
• And treatment that interrupts the way hormones act in the body
