Oncologists have the skills and expertise to manage patient care throughout the cancer treatment process. Generally, patients are referred to an oncologist once they\u2019ve had preliminary testing that may indicate cancer. An oncologist can diagnose cancer and recommend different treatment options. Just because a patient has been referred to an oncologist does not mean they definitively have cancer \u2013 further testing may rule out a cancer diagnosis.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/memorialhealthcare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cancer-Support-Group_-Flyer_1.9.23.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Click here<\/strong><\/a><strong> for information on our Cancer Support Group for patients, families, and loved ones.<\/strong><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/memorialhealthcare.org\/service\/diagnostic-services\/\">Diagnostic services<\/a> may include:<\/p><ul><li>3D mammography<\/li><li>Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)<\/li><li>Computed tomography (CT) scan<\/li><li>Positron emission tomography (PET) scan<\/li><\/ul><p>Once a patient has been diagnosed, they may receive one of the cancer treatment modalities available at Memorial Healthcare, such as:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Chemotherapy: <\/strong>One of the most common forms of treatment for cancer, chemotherapy uses medication to destroy cancer cells and can be administered as a pill or intravenously.<\/li><li><strong>Surgery: <\/strong>The oncology team coordinates with surgeons in Owosso and the surrounding area to provide cancer surgeries on an individual basis.

Normally, as the body\u2019s cells grow old, they die and are replaced by new, healthy cells. Sometimes this process breaks down, and abnormal cells grow into tumors. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). As cancer cells grow, they can spread to other parts of the body. While signs of cancer vary widely from patient to patient, early symptoms of cancer might include:<\/p><ul><li>Persistent fatigue<\/li><li>Unexplained weight loss<\/li><li>An unusual lump or sore that doesn\u2019t go away<\/li><\/ul><p>Certain kinds of cancer may be more apparent than others. For example, a mole that changes in size or shape may be an indication of melanoma.<\/p><p>There are many different types of cancer, and each patient will have a different course of treatment depending on factors such as their age, overall health, and stage of cancer. Some of the more common types of cancer include:<\/p><ul><li>Bladder cancer<\/li><li>Breast cancer<\/li><li>Colon and rectal cancer<\/li><li>Endometrial cancer<\/li><li>Kidney cancer<\/li><li>Leukemia<\/li><li>Liver cancer<\/li><li>Lung cancer<\/li><li>Melanoma<\/li><li>Non-Hodgkin lymphoma<\/li><li>Pancreatic cancer<\/li><li>Prostate cancer<\/li><li>Thyroid cancer<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/BndOnRZz0uo To see Kari&#8217;s full story, click here.
