acing a diagnosis of cancer is one of life’s most difficult challenges for both patients and family members. What will this journey be like? How do you prepare? Will you travel this path alone, or will there be people to walk by your side –people who will hold your hand, care for you, encourage you, and celebrate your progress? Will they understand what you’re going through? One thing is certain– cancer brings with it a host of emotions, questions, and concerns. Every patient of the Cancer Treatment and Prevention Center at UT Health Northeast will be surrounded by a caring and committed team of highly trained specialists, support staff, and volunteers to provide them with the best care possible.
We’re Focused On Our Patients. Our Cancer Treatment and Prevention Center was designed with the most important people at the forefront of every decision we made – our patients. We have assembled an outstanding cancer care team and advanced technology that rivals that of national cancer centers. Our focus is to provide our patients with personalized and compassionate cancer care, as well as emotional and spiritual support on their journey.
We’re Committed To Excellence In Everything We Do. As part of the world-renowned University of Texas System and
the only university medical center in our region, we have treated patients with cancer for over three decades. With the opening of our new Cancer Treatment and Prevention Center, we have brought together not only experienced cancer specialists and advanced technology, but patient comfort and convenience too –all under one roof.

Patient Comfort And Convenience –
Cancers We Treat
Driving from one location to another and walking down never-ending hallways are the last things you want to do when you don’t feel well. At UT Health, your cancer doctors’ offices, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and lab and X-ray facilities are all within steps of the front entrance of the Cancer Treatment and Prevention Center. The serenity of the surroundings, valet parking when you arrive, the spaciousness of the chemotherapy suites with their opportunity for privacy, and even the many wheelchair-accessible restrooms – everything was designed with our patients in mind.
• Breast Cancers
Many of our patients receive their diagnosis and treatment plan at other cancer centers, but choose to have their chemotherapy or radiation therapy with us – saving them time, energy, and money because they are able to stay close to home during their treatment. Call us at (903) 877-7831, and we can help coordinate your care.
• Male and Female Reproductive System Cancers – cervical, endometrial, ovarian, prostate, testicular, uterine, and vaginal • Gastrointestinal Cancers– tumors of the GI tract, as well as colon, duodenal, esophageal, gall bladder, liver, pancreatic, and stomach • Head and Neck Cancers • Hodgkin’s and
Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphomas
• Leukemia • Lung Cancers • Multiple Myeloma • Neurological Cancers • Sarcomas • Skin Cancers • Urinary Tract Cancers– bladder, kidney, and ureteral
We provide comprehensive treatment coordination for all cancers, and serve as a gateway to access care for rare cancers at our sister institutions, including UT MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, and UT Health Science Center in San Antonio.
Our new main lobby is the hub of your total health care experience. From there, you are steps away from the Cancer Treatment and Prevention Center, the university hospital, our 24/7 emergency room, and other specialists you may need to see.

Choosing A Cancer Treatment And Prevention Center When confronted with a diagnosis of cancer, the next step is to choose where to receive treatment. You should carefully consider the staff’s expertise, the technology they will employ to fight your cancer, and the commitment they have made to fight your cancer with you. You should also think about the comfort and convenience available for you and your family. As a patient, you should be listened to, involved in the decisionmaking process, and educated about your cancer treatment and your choices.
For your first appointment, we will need copies of all medical records related to your cancer diagnosis as well as x-rays, CT scans, and other films. We will be happy to assist you in obtaining these records if needed.
In Northeast Texas, that choice should be the Cancer Treatment and Prevention Center at UT Health Northeast.
