You shouldn’t have to drive hundreds of miles to access crucial, life-saving care when you’re battling cancer. Fortunately, because Hancock Health is part of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, our providers are supported by the knowledge of Mayo Clinic specialists—which lets us give the people of East Central Indiana the world-class cancer treatment they need, right here at home.
We Fight Cancer Here
Our team of expert oncology providers lead a nationally accredited cancer program that helps thousands of East Central Indiana residents each year. Whether you live in Indianapolis, Greenfield, Knightstown, or anywhere in between, we’ll give you all the care you’re looking for from diagnosis to remission.
We also have a wide array of screenings and testing available using advanced technology, so we can catch cancer earlier and improve patient outcomes.
Here are a few common types of cancer screenings:
- Mammograms: An image that can help doctors see if there are abnormalities that could be a sign of breast cancer.
- Pap Smear: A swab of cells from the cervix to detect cervical cancer.
- Colonoscopy: A test for your colon or large intestine where doctors use a tiny camera to find any signs of colon cancer.
- Skin Check: A visual examination of your skin to find any unusual spots or moles that might be signs of skin cancer.
- Blood Tests: A small sample of your blood is used to look for signs that something might be going wrong in your body, like certain types of cancer.
- Lung screening: An image of the lungs to identify any potential signs of lung cancer.
We also offer testing to see if you have any mutations in your genes that could increase your risk of developing common cancers, including colorectal, pancreatic, prostate, ovarian, uterine, stomach, and breast cancer. This type of genetic testing is done through a blood or saliva sample. It typically takes about three weeks after the sample is collected for results to be shared with your Hancock Health provider.But treating cancer is only part of the battle. We also have extensive support services such as support groups, art therapy and other relaxing post-chemotherapy classes, nutritional guidance, a cancer clothing boutique, and so much more. Cancer isn’t easy, but your journey to remission can be a little easier through the comprehensive support services at Hancock Health.
