What sets the Sparrow Regional Cancer Center apart from other cancer programs? Compassion. Every member of our team is a caring professional truly committed to
treating each patient's unique situation. Our physicians, nurses and therapists don't just treat tumors and malignancies. They take the extra time to attend to every aspect
of patient care and recovery.
We match volunteers, who are themselves cancer survivors, with our patients. Being able to talk with others who have "been there" helps patients feel more confident and comfortable during
their treatment and stay.
We also have care coordinators who will:
- Advocate for patients with insurance providers
- Coordinate supportive care services
- Arrange for discharge planning
As an American College of Surgeons-accredited program, the Sparrow Regional Cancer Center provides comprehensive cancer care, including:
Prevention and Screening
The Sparrow Regional Cancer Center promotes and conducts annual cancer screenings for the community utilizing American Cancer Society guidelines.
Smoking Cessation
The Sparrow Regional Cancer Center provides smoking cessation classes for the community at large to eliminate the number-one preventable cause of cancer.
Early Detection
When cancer is found early, there's a greater chance for treatment and survival. That is why a fast, accurate diagnosis is imperative. At Sparrow, we are committed to early detection, and we rely on leading-edge diagnostic
tools not available in all hospitals. Using this technology, we're able to diagnose patients with a level of detail never before possible.
For instance, our CT scanners offer us the most advanced imaging on the market today - spectacular three-dimensional view inside the internal tissues and organs of our patients. In addition to CAT scans and MRIs, other leading-edge, minimally invasive diagnostic procedures we're
using at the Sparrow Regional Cancer Center include:
