Medical Weight Loss
Primary Care
The lung screening, offered year-round at our facility, is recommended for current or former smokers between the ages of 50 and 77. A physician order is required so speak to your primary care physician about this screening which is covered by most insurances.
Family Practice
You need a physician referral to have a genetic counseling consultation so visit with your oncologist, family medicine physician, or OBGYN.

Bladder Cancer
Did you know that more men than women are diagnosed with bladder cancer each year? While it commonly affects White men, Black men are also at an increased risk. Learn more about your risk here: https://bit.ly/3kUrV4n
Urology
Brachytherapy is often used to treat prostate and gynecologic malignancies. The radiation oncologist travels to the Siouxland Urology office to perform this procedure for prostate cancer patients, increasing patient convenience.
Testicular Cancer
April is Testicular Cancer Awareness Month, the most common cancer in men in their 20s and 30s. Dr. Nibash Budhathoki, one of our Medical Oncologists, was recently interviewed by KTIV News 4 about Testicular Cancer, if there is a screening for it, and about its treatment.
Ovarian Cancer
There are several reasons your doctor may have recommended a genetic counseling session. Approximately 5-10% of cancers have been linked to an inherited gene, higher in some specific types of cancer like ovarian cancer at 20%. Genetic testing will then help you and your physicians make medical decisions to proactively take steps to prevent or lower your cancer risk and complete appropriate screening to detect cancer early.
Cervical Cancer
Colon Cancer
We are committed to providing the most advanced cancer treatment in the region and that requires state-of-the-art technology. KTIV’s Healthbeat story from April 11 shares why our new cutting-edge PET scanner is important to physicians, staff, and patients like 38-year-old Shandy Grant who was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in 2019 and has had more than a dozen PET scans since then.
Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is one of the top 3 cancers diagnosed in the United States. Even though initial treatment for prostate cancer can be curative, up to 50% of patients experience a return or recurrence of the disease within 10 years.
Cancer Care
We are the region’s leader in cancer care and blood disorders. For more than 25 years, thousands of patients have counted on us for exceptional care and advanced treatment options. Our team of doctors, nurses, patient advocates, and other professionals are deeply committed to caring for patients with all types of cancer and blood disorders.
Lung Cancer
Take our Lung Cancer Risk Assessment Quiz to determine your risk and see if a Low-Dose CT Lung Scan may be an important next step in your health care. This screening tool takes only a few minutes to complete and will tell you if you should talk to your family doctor. If found to be at risk, an early CT Lung Scan could save your life.

Mental Health
Patients don’t often know where to begin after being diagnosed with cancer. Chris’ role is to help patients manage the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of their cancer diagnosis. This can include assisting with transportation and community resources, assessing mental health needs, developing a plan for care in the patient’s home, or providing education regarding advanced directives.

Endocrinologist

Thyroid
Thyroid Cancer

MRI
A 3-D image of a tumor is obtained using a CT scan, MRI, or PET scan. Using information from the image, special computer programs design radiation beams that “conform” to the shape of the tumor.
Radiology
The American College of Radiology has recognized our cancer center for clinical excellence in CT scan, PET scan, and low-dose CT lung screening. This gives our patients added peace of mind they are receiving the region’s highest quality diagnostic services at the June E. Nylen Cancer Center.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
A PET/CT scan reveals information about the structure and function of cells and tissues in the body during a single test. This provides your doctor with a whole view of your body. The test allows your doctor to...
Chemotherapy
A new clinical trial is open to patients who had chemotherapy 3 or more months ago and who are now experiencing numbness, tingling, or pain in their hands or feet. See the list of criteria for this trial and call for more information.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to destroy cancer cells and shrink tumors. About half of all cancer patients receive radiation therapy as part of their cancer treatment.
Radiation Oncology
The radiation oncology nurses can help answer questions related to your specific treatment plan and possible side effects. They can be contacted at (712) 252-9456. If you have questions regarding an upcoming radiation treatment appointment, please reach out to our qualified radiation therapists at (712) 252-9380.

Joint Replacement
Radiation can also be used to prevent bone growth after joint replacement surgery when needed. Called heterotropic therapy, the radiation oncologist collaborates with your orthopedic surgeon post-surgery for the single treatment.

Skin Cancer
Jessie Poskochil is a licensed and certified genetic counselor at the Munroe-Meyer Institute in the Genetic Medicine Department within the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Jessie joined as a genetic counselor focused on hereditary cancer genetics in 2021 and has special interests in hereditary melanoma, outreach clinics, and teaching. Currently, Jessie provides cancer genetic counseling and testing services at the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center and the June E. Nylen Cancer Center.
Lesions
We also very recently upgraded our positron emission tomography (PET) scanner to the most advanced model on the market. It integrates a high-performance PET and 64-slice computed tomography (CT) into one machine and shows the highest possible resolution for each organ. Accurate staging of cancer requires early detection of even small lesions and the combination of PET and CT is important because it allows for a more accurate diagnosis of disease than either CT or PET alone.

Sports Medicine
LIVESTRONG PROGRAM: You want to reclaim your health, but where to start? This program can help by fulfilling the important need of supporting the increasing number of cancer survivors who find themselves in the transitional period between completing their cancer treatment and the shift to feeling physically and emotionally strong enough to attempt to return to their normal life. The program is conducted outside of medical facilities to emphasize that LIVESTRONG is about health, not a disease. This twelve-week, small group program is offered in Siouxland at the Norm Waitt Sr. YMCA. Learn more about LIVESTRONG at the YMCA that is specifically designed for cancer survivors and patients following the American College of Sports Medicine and American Cancer Society exercise guidelines.
