Thompson Cancer Survival Center at Methodist offers some of the latest advances in treatments and technology.
Thompson at Methodist pioneered the treatment of lung, cervical, uterine and vaginal cancer with high-dose-rate brachytherapy. This advance reduces side effects and treatment times for patients and minimizes the risk of exposure to patients' families and caregivers.
The 120-leaf collimator at Thompson at Methodist targets cancer with incredible precision, delivering a high dose of radiation to the tumor with minimum damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
The chest clinic at Thompson at Methodist has a coordinated, expedited process to confirm each patient's diagnosis and agree upon the treatment plan within a week of the original referral, so treatment can begin without delay.
