Oncology

Regional West Physicians Clinic-Oncology has moved! To better serve our patients and provide a comfortable, private clinic environment, we are now located in Medical Plaza South, Suite 2200 as a standalone clinic.

Housed directly across the hall from the Infusion Center, the medical oncology clinic provides a comfortable, private, patient-centered environment for patients and their loved ones.

Our oncology team includes board certified, fellowship trained medical oncologists and an advanced oncology certified nurse practitioner. Together they provide the area’s most innovative cancer care for patients in western Nebraska, eastern Wyoming, and northeastern Colorado.

The clinic also accommodates Cancer Services support staff in one convenient space. 

When diagnosing cancer, the first step includes a comprehensive clinical evaluation using a wide range of diagnostic tools, which may include laboratory tests, X-ray exams, and a biopsy of the suspected abnormality. The clinical evaluation may also require the use of advanced diagnostic tools such as nuclear medicine scans, endoscopy, CT scan, MRI, and PET scan.

After reviewing the diagnostic results, your oncologist will pinpoint the extent of the cancer and suggest appropriate treatment options.
