A fast, accurate diagnosis

An early and accurate diagnosis can make all the difference when it comes to treating your cancer. At Saint Agnes Hospital, our cancer doctors have the technology, resources and know-how to provide you with the most detailed diagnosis. Saint Agnes cancer patients are evaluated during a Saint Agnes cancer conference - attended by some of the region’s most experienced and skilled medical oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, and pathologists. Together, they review each diagnosis, discuss all options for treatment, and formulate the best plan of attack. We make you an integral part of the process, consulting with you and your family to ensure that the recommended treatment fits you and your lifestyle.
