Taking a Healthier Look at Cancer. The Regional Cancer Center.

Southeast Missouri Hospital’s Regional Cancer Center offers a multi-disciplinary team of cancer experts armed with the latest technology. If you or your loved ones should ever require colorectal cancer care, we have the knowledge and expertise to meet your needs. Gastroenterologists (physicians specializing in digestive health), surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, radiologists, anesthesiologists and other health professionals work together to develop a personalized treatment plan for each patient.

They also work to involve families and primary care physicians as they address the complex physical, emotional and spiritual challenges which accompany a diagnosis of cancer. Over the years we have touched the lives of many patients and the advanced treatment options we offer have given each hope in the fight against cancer.

Some of our services include:

• Education and prevention programs
• Advanced diagnostics
• Proven treatment options
• Leading-edge surgical program
• Nationally-recognized nursing staff
• Rehabilitation and support services

Many are surprised to find we also offer clinical trials, pioneering treatment options and even a hereditary cancer risk assessment clinic, right here in Cape.

Our commitment to giving you access to the specialists and services you need has earned us national recognition. Southeast Missouri Hospital is one of only 25% of the nation’s hospitals to be accredited by the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons. We don’t believe you should have to leave town to receive the very best cancer care. That’s why we continue to invest in our program and grow to meet the needs of our community.

In 2010 we will open the most technologically advanced cancer treatment and care center in the region. The new Regional Cancer Center will also be home to physician offices, pharmacy, lab and X-ray services, a library, café, meeting rooms and more. All designed with patient convenience and comfort in mind.
