Cancer Center

Cancer - The word causes fear, confusion, often panic in patients, their families, friends and employers. Such fear is magnified when people lack knowledge of the disease, the varied treatments available and above all the increasingly hopeful evidence that patients can expect to live full, productive lives.

The Cancer Center Team at Brooks wants you to know the inside story on Cancer, the warning signs, treatment options, tips for living with cancer and many other vitally important cancer related topics.

A Speakers Bureau is available to address concerns and questions you and your group may have. And it's free!

Members of the Cancer Center Team will visit your organization and provide an informative lecture on the topic of your choice. Videos and brochures are available on selected issues. Among the topics featured are:

• Forms of Therapy: A discussion on Radiation & Chemotherapy Treatment
