CHEMOTHERAPY / INFUSION

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

17Infusion is the administration of fluids, including chemotherapy and blood products, into the bloodstream of patients who require them.

More than half of all people diagnosed with cancer receive chemotherapy, treatments that use drugs to kill affected cells. For millions of people who have conditions that respond well to chemotherapy, this approach helps them to enjoy full, productive lives. Many side effects once associated with chemotherapy are now easily prevented or controlled, allowing many people to work, travel and participate in normal activities while receiving treatment.

Our infusion area features 90 comfortable infusion chairs situated in a naturally lit, open space. To pass the time, the center offers a variety of pleasant distractions – including Wi-Fi, reading materials and plenty of windows – all contributing to the warm, caring environment.

Clinical Trials

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

16Access to the most advanced treatments depends heavily on strong clinical trial programs. The Zangmeister Center is an active participant in a broad range of research studies in cooperation with pharmaceutical companies, The Gynecologic Oncology Group and The National Cancer Institute’s Cooperative Groups (including Southwest Oncology Group and the Eastern Cooperative Group), through the Columbus Community Clinical Oncology Program. Clinical trials give patients broader access to new treatment options and are essential to our mission of providing the most advanced care available to the patients we serve. In addition to providing promising alternatives to our patients today, these studies can dramatically improve the prognoses for generations of future oncology patients.

GYNECOLOGIC ONCOLOGY

The gynecologic oncologists working at the Zangmeister Center specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers of the female reproductive organs. Following referral from another treating physician, our practice may provide consultation and management of complex benign gynecologic conditions as well.

We are experienced in the use of surgery, radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy as required. In certain cases, our physicians may choose laser treatments, laparoscopy or the DaVinci Robotic system in selecting the most appropriate treatment modality for each patient.
