The cancer experts at the Fox River Cancer Center understand that having cancer is one of life's most challenging obstacles; it can cause your whole world to change. As healthcare providers, we take very seriously our responsibility to provide you with the most advanced treatment options available in a compassionate manner.
Patients at the Fox River Cancer Center have access to the latest cutting-edge technology, clinical trials and procedures in cancer care today, including:
- Radiation Therapy that can pinpoint the exact location of tumors and deliver the intended amount of radiation to only the targeted area, thereby reducing both damage to surrounding tissues and organs and the risk of complications.
- Clinical Trials previously available only at the largest healthcare institutions (Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN; University of Chicago; UCLA) which are administered by Illinois CancerCare, one of the largest private clinical oncology practices in the nation. Illinois CancerCare was recently ranked top 10 in the nation for their participation in clinical cancer research trials.
- Collaboration between Ottawa Regional Hospital & Healthcare Center, Radiation Oncologist Kevin Khater and Illinois CancerCare, which gives patients access to an array of ancillary services. They include CT scanning, laboratory tests, x-rays, nutritional counseling, psychosocial counseling, yoga, massage, support groups and spiritual counseling.
- An Onsite Community Resource Library, which is available for use by patients, their families and members of the community.
The Fox River Cancer Center is here for you, committed to providing expertise, experience, the most technologically advanced equipment, state-of-the-art therapies and individualized care in the fight against cancer today. Together, we can beat this. Together, we will.
