7 Individualized Diagnosis and Treatment Planning Dr. Scouros, her associates and staff provide specialized diagnostic and treatment capabilities for patients with many different types of cancer. At the Houston Cancer Institute, PA, developing a treatment plan for each patient is a highly individualized and personal process. Consultation Services Depending on multiple factors, including the type of tumor, its stage, location, size and the overall condition of the patient s health, a plan is developed that utilizes one or more of the treatment modalities alone or in combination. The physicians and staff at the Houston Cancer Institute, PA, may also work with other physicians and specialists to develop the optimal plan for each patient. Infusion Services Highly trained infusion nurses who are OCN certified as well as certified to administer chemotherapy manage the modern state-of-the-art infusion suite. The Infusion Suite located at our main campus provides a comfortable environment for patients requiring comprehensive chemotherapy, biologic therapies, hydration, angiogenesis and targeted therapies. A family member or caregiver is welcome to accompany the patient during these services. Selected infusion services are also available at our satellite locations for the convenience of our patients. Genetic Testing for Hereditary Cancer At this time, the Houston Cancer Institute, PA, offers tests that check the blood for the risk of developing selected inherited cancers. These tests can analyze the genes for mutations that if present can increase an individual s risk to develop cancer. If an individual has already been diagnosed with cancer, the genetic testing can still help to identify the risk of developing a second cancer as well as informing close family members of their potential risks of inheriting these mutations.
8 Screening for Cancer and Early Detection It is well established that catching a cancer early can improve the prognosis for the patient and in some cases can result in a cure. This is especially true in solid tumors, such as breast, colon, prostate and the most recent new data supports this concept in lung cancer also. The Houston Cancer Institute is committed to early detection and screening when appropriate for the patient. For an in depth personalized assessment about screening and early detection, patients can request a special individualized consultation to discuss their risk factors and undergo a full examination and any screening procedures which may be appropriate for them or their family members. Phlebotomy Services Certain conditions require the performance of phlebotomy, the removal of blood for therapeutic purposes. Certified nurses perform these services in the office in a comfortable and supportive environment. Laboratory Services For the convenience of our patients a certified laboratory phlebotomist is available to draw blood in the office. Support Services Patients diagnosed with cancer, as well as their families, often require psychological counseling and support, as well as other support services to help them manage their care. The Houston Cancer Institute, PA, works with each patient and family to identify the appropriate support and community resources for their needs. The Houston Cancer Institute holds peer and professional support group meetings for patients, their caregivers and family members. The Houston Cancer Institute also provides dietary and nutritional counseling for patients and their families. Other programs include the Look Good Feel Better program that is co-sponsored with the American Cancer Society. For detailed information about the support groups and topics, check out our website at
9 Financial Counseling and Services The Houston Cancer Institute, PA accepts most private insurances, as well as Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans. Our business office will assist patients and submit claims for covered services to the insurance carriers for their convenience. In addition, the business office staff is available to help identify resources for those who may benefit from financial assistance programs. There are no guarantees that we can find financial help, but all available sources will be explored on the patient s behalf. Clinical Trials HCI might be able to offer you the opportunity to participate in a new treatment that might help in better treating cancer and related conditions. Although new treatments are being studied in clinical trials at HCI, patients are not obligated to participate. However, information about ongoing clinical trials at the Houston Cancer Institute, PA, is available upon request. Your physician will be happy to discuss your options. Diagnostic and PET/CT Center Our new state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging center provides routine radiology, ultrasound, nuclear medicine and CAT scan capabilities in a modern and comfortable environment.
10 PET/CT scans are also available for patients who may benefit from this test for staging purposes and for following the response to therapy.
