Cancer Care

The Cancer Program at Kent Hospital

The Cancer Program at Kent Hospital offers a comprehensive range of services delivered by a dedicated team of professionals using the latest technology, offering patients and their families hope and compassion. A multi-disciplinary team of cancer professionals work with patients to create an individual treatment plan based on the diagnosis. We provide access to radiation oncology through our collaboration with Radiation Oncology Services located across the street from Kent Hospital.

Inpatient care is provided in our 29-bed oncology unit, an 11-station outpatient chemotherapy/infusion unit, and a full range of diagnostic imaging and laboratory services. Both oncology units feature an experienced team of physicians and oncology certified nurses.

Our program is accredited with commendation by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer, as a Community Hospital Cancer Program, and the American College of Radiology accredits our Mammography Program.

Our Services

Lung Cancer Screening

Kent Hospital’s Lung Cancer Screening Program for lung cancer is committed to offering a comprehensive, state-of-the-art approach to the early diagnosis of lung cancer, and increasing our community’s awareness of the dangers of continued tobacco product use.

Lung Nodule Clinic

Care New England offers a dedicated lung nodule clinic to achieve a timely evaluation of patients with lung nodules detected incidentally or through lung cancer screening CT scans. The Clinic team is led by a Board-certified pulmonary and critical care medical doctor.

Radiation Therapy

Radiation and radioactivity were discovered more than 100 years ago. Since then, advances in technology and a better understanding of its effects on the body have made radiation therapy an important part of cancer treatment.
