Patients will visit this center first to receive treatment plans and "tattoos" for radiation. They will then be free to return to their own community for daily treatments within easy distance of their homes.

DUNCAN

The DUNCAN cancer center will be a 9,000 square foot facility located just south of Duncan Regional Hospital. The center will offer both radiation therapy and chemotherapy and will be equipped with a linear accelerator to deliver the precise levels of radiation necessary for each patient’s treatment plan. The facility will also have pharmacy and outpatient laboratory services available.

Two chemotherapy rooms will be available so patients may rest in comfort while receiving treatments, and all treatments will be administered under the watchful eye of an oncologist. The facility staff will also include highly trained chemotherapy nurses and radiation therapists.
