It is an exciting time for cancer services at Ochsner. The availability of an ever- growing array of new cancer treatments and technologies aids the implementation of cancer care by nationally and internationally respected cancer specialists at the Ochsner Cancer Institute. Indeed, the people of our Gulf South region and our international neighbors of the Americas and further abroad can expect compassionate, expert care provided by our physicians, nurses and support services at Ochsner.
At Ochsner, our focus is the treatment of the whole patient, not just a disease. Attention to the psychological, nutritional, family and spiritual needs of our patients is a priority, as is our focus on survivorship through the anxious times of cancer treatment and beyond.
As the leading center in the Gulf South, the Ochsner Cancer Institute is involved in cancer treatment and clinical trials and is also home to the Lieselotte Tansey Breast Center, the first facility in the New Orleans area to be fully accredited by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC). Our cancer surgeons lead the region in innovative, minimally invasive surgical approaches for a wide variety
of malignancies previously requiring more traumatic open surgery. Ochsner’s Bone Marrow Transplantation program is the only Foundation for the Accreditation
of Cellular Therapy (FACT) accredited site for adults in Louisiana.
We are pleased to provide, through OchsnerOutcomes, objective information about clinical care outcomes and cancer research activities at the Ochsner Cancer Institute.
