As a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence, our diagnostic radiologists are nationally recognized for providing expert imaging and detection.

At our cancer center in Temple, we are proud to feature cancer surgeons on our medical staff who have developed pioneering and innovative surgical approaches, including minimally invasive techniques, as well as procedures that can be performed through the belly button to hide the incision.

While the cancer surgery techniques and approaches are numerous, the goal is to remove cancerous cells and tumors while minimizing side effects and the appearance of scars as much as possible.

Given the high number of cases our Temple cancer treatment center treats, the medical cancer specialists on our medical staff have vast experience in determining the appropriate course of chemotherapy and other IV-based medication treatments depending on each patient's needs.  

Our infusion center allows patients privacy during cancer treatment or the ability to socialize with other cancer patients receiving chemotherapy infusions at the same time.

The board-certified radiation specialists on our medical staff have several types of radiation therapy technologies available to select the most appropriate cancer treatment option, including technologies that may reduce treatment times from six weeks to as little as five days depending on the cancer.

Our radiation therapy team combines extensive experience and research with these advanced tools to precisely target and treat tumors, sparing surrounding healthy tissue and decreasing side effects.

The radiation therapy program in Temple available at our cancer treatment center has system-wide accreditation by the American College of Radiology, which distinguishes us as the only hospital-based cancer system in Central Texas to enjoy this designation.
