SERVICES Medical Services and Treatment Programs The staff at Gabrail Cancer Center provides a full-range of services, including: Cancer Research Clinical research studies are an essential tool in the development of new and potentially life-saving therapies. Since 1990, Gabrail Cancer Center's research department has been a national leader in the field of oncology research, participating in studies involving innovative and investigational medicines and therapies. Gabrail Cancer Center remains at the forefront in research studies, investigating the most up-to-date therapies available. When patients choose to participate in a study, they will be taking advantage of the newest treatments available. At the same time, they are helping other patients by providing valuable new insights into their condition. While on study, these patients receive close monitoring of their progress while continuing to receive the same high standard of care that all patients enjoy. Patients interested in participating in a research study or those who would like more information about current studies should ask their doctor or contact GCC's Clinical Research Director, Carrie Smith R.N., CSmith@GabrailCancerCenter.com. Advantages to Sponsors and CRO's: GCC is 90% of the time the first site to open enrollment and the first site to enroll on a study. Infusion Therapy Private infusion suites are outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment and staffed by a team of highly-trained oncology nurses. Infusion services can be provided either in a spacious room along with other patients or in a private room depending on patients' preference. GCC is a certified Reclast Infusion Center. Diagnostic Imaging CT-scans are a valuable tool in diagnosing and monitoring your illness. Physicians may order different types of radiology services during treatment and follow-up. GCC's staff assist patients by scheduling these studies and providing instructions for preparation. Family Cancer Registry The Family Cancer Registry (FCR) was formed for patients and families to learn about the possible genetically inherited risk of cancer. Physicians analyze the family tree, looking for a specific pattern to determine if there is indeed a genetic predisposition to develop cancer. Formal genetic testing is done when deemed necessary. Family members are counseled about methods of prevention and early detection or even prophylactic surgery procedures. On-Site Lab Services For the convenience of patients and rapid test turn around, each of GCC's full-time facilities has an on-site laboratory for blood collection and laboratory testing. This added convenience eliminates the need for patients to make a separate visit to another facility (unless an insurance plan dictates otherwise). GCC's laboratories are equipped with the latest technology to be found in the medical field. They are CLIA accredited. Support Care Programs Support care groups or one-on-one support is available. For more information see the support section of this site or notify GCC staff. Scheduling It is the policy of Gabrail Cancer Center that all new patients are seen within 48 hours of notification. Established patients are seen immediately when warranted. Wireless Internet Wireless Internet is available within the lobby, treatment rooms, and research area for use by patients, families and visitors. Easy Access/Free Parking GCC's facilities are located close to major highways and provide convenient free parking near the entrances. |
