Cancer Information & Treatments
In many ways, pinpointing cancer is like finding a needle in a haystack. In a body made up of millions of cells, finding a relatively small number of cancer cells requires skill, experience and the right equipment. Yet, attaining an accurate, detailed diagnosis and staging is a crucial first step in determining the best course of cancer treatment. Only by viewing a clear picture of the exact type of cancer, tumor location and size, and how far the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes and other organs can doctors define a truly personalized treatment plan most likely to achieve success.
As part of the Sutter Health network of care, Sutter Cancer Centers offer exceptional diagnostic capabilities using the most advanced technology available. Comprehensive diagnostic services are available at the Sutter Cancer Centers in Sacramento and Roseville, with additional capabilities available at Sutter Davis and Sutter Auburn Faith Hospitals. Your doctor will refer you to the location best suited to your needs.
