A Cancer Diagnosis

To help people dealing with the challenges of a cancer diagnosis, physician specialists on staff at Ministry Health Care hospitals in Woodruff, Rhinelander, Weston, Stevens Point and Marshfield draw upon years of experience managing complex disease states. Self exam combined with routine, age-appropriate screenings by a primary care doctor and other preventive measures are simple yet effective methods to improve the likelihood of early detection.

When a mass or other irregularity is suspected, cancer specialists use the most sophisticated diagnostic tests — including MRI, Computed Tomography and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans — to make an accurate diagnosis and develop customized treatment plans.
