Cancer Testing and Treatment
Leading-edge diagnostics
Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward minimizing health risks and problems, especially when it comes to the threat of cancer. When a Pap test or pelvic exam indicates a problem, we use advanced 3D ultrasound technology for gynecological testing. We also offer digital mammograms through our association with local hospitals. Our goal is to catch any cancer early in its development and keep it from progressing.
Advanced ultrasound
Our highly trained and experienced ultrasound technician who is dedicated to women's care and pregnancy. For gynecological care, ultrasound testing enables us to view all the organs within the female pelvic region and test for such things as ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids or masses.
Colposcopy
We may perform an in-office colposcopy when a Pap smear is abnormal or inconclusive. The colposcopy allows us to have an enlarged view of the cervix, with the purpose of assessing potential problems including cervical cancer. You may experience some minor cramping.
Recovery time is immediate.
Hysteroscopy
We do this nonsurgical, in-office procedure to check for endometrial cancer as well as to find the cause of abnormal bleeding or infertility or to remove growths, such as fibroids or polyps. A hysteroscopy involves inserting a tiny probe, called a hysteroscope, through the vagina and cervix and into the uterus. The probe has a light and camera attached to it so we can look at the lining of the uterus on a video screen.
Cancer Treatment
Our goal is to help our patients maintain optimum health so we never have to deliver the news that they have cancer. When we do, we believe you deserve honesty as well as compassion and will give you all the information you need to make treatment decisions that are right for you and your family.
We have associations with the best oncologist for cancer treatments. It may require travel to Las Vegas or St George. Should you require additional treatment from an oncologist (cancer specialist), we will work as your medical team leader, providing medical and emotional support here in Mesquite and coordinating with one of our gynecology oncologist partners in Nevada or Utah to ensure you get the best care available anywhere.
