Our multidisciplinary care teams include specialists from each diagnostic, treatment and supportive care discipline including surgery, hematology and medical oncology; radiation oncology; pathology; radiology; oncology, patient navigation, clinical research, nursing; supportive care; and, when appropriate, genetics.
The teams consist of physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, dieticians and others and are each designed and staffed specifically to ensure that patients and their families get their cancer diagnosis and treatment right the first time.
To ensure every advantage of treatment, every patient under the Center’s care is evaluated for clinical trial eligibility. Patients meeting participation criteria receive a standard of care treatment, but with the added benefit of a trial that may enhance their outcomes.
The Mary Bird Perkins – LSU Medical Physics Partnership is an accredited, multidisciplinary academic and research program, one of only 40 in the nation. The partnership fosters a rich arena for education and research, and is key to the Center’s ability to offer leading-edge radiation therapy services.
