Because many physicians only diagnose one or two cases in their career, you may have been told you have a “rare neoplasm.” At Creighton University Medical Center we don’t call it “rare” because we treat one or two new cases each week. Our physicians aggressively treat you and your cancer to ensure the best quality of life possible. We are proud to support you with the newest and most effective treatment currently known.
At Creighton University Medical Center our focus is you. You become the center of our team of specialists that meet weekly to review and discuss your treatment options and progress. We work closely with you to ensure the right treatment at the right time. This team format lets us react quickly to adjust your treatment as needed.
Your quality of life is first and foremost, and we take great pride to offer the latest in technology and treatments available to improve and preserve it. We emphasize family as an important part of your treatment and recovery process, and we want your family to be a part of the Creighton Family.
