The number of cancer patients treated at Decatur General Hospital continues to be an ongoing challenge to the various departments. Current treatment regimens are discussed at weekly tumor board meetings every Tuesday.
Further diagnostic abilities for breast lesions are available by ultrasound on stereo biopsy. The excellent surgical staff here has the ability to treat most malignancies encountered in the surrounding areas.
The surgical staff regularly attends continuing education meetings to keep up with changes in technique and procedures. Cancer statistics for Decatur General Hospital are available on the Web site.
