Cancer Services

If cancer should ever touch your life, rest assured that Seton has the experience and expertise to support you and your family completely, from diagnosis to post-treatment, right here in Central Texas. The Shivers Cancer Program is accredited by the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons and uses a highly specialized team approach in treating all aspects of the disease. Five cancer conferences are held each month wherein doctors review cases with one another to share the most current knowledge and information and gain important insights into cancer treatment. Not only are we are dedicated to treating our patients effectively and compassionately, we are also dedicated to eradicating this disease in the shortest possible time. Our robust research programs and wide array of clinical trials insure that the most innovative and effective protocols are always available, and our patients continually benefit from an ongoing exchange of information within the Seton Family of Hospitals.

Early cancer detection can save your life.. So in addition to the complete diagnostic facilities throughout the Seton Family of Hospitals, we offer a mobile screening program that visits businesses, offices and corporations to perform screenings to employees.
