 Cancer is a condition of uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells with a potential for spreading to different parts of the body. Over 8,000 cases of invasive cancer are diagnosed each year in West Virginia. It is the state’s second leading cause of death. It is a diagnosis that causes profound physical, emotional, and financial strain for the patient, the family, and the community.Recognizing this, Princeton Community Hospital has developed a cancer program that is a combined effort of multiple disciplines. With our screening programs, state of the art diagnostics, skilled surgeons, cutting edge radiation and chemotherapy treatment procedures, meticulous documentation, and our truly caring support services, we are able to deliver care that is timely, current, and compassionate. In 1995, we were accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer as a Community Hospital Cancer Program. We were one of the first hospitals in West Virginia to receive this accreditation. For comprehensive cancer care, area residents do not need to go elsewhere. It is available right here in our community. The following information is provided in recognition of Princeton Community Hospital’s extensive cancer programs and the people who devote their lives to giving quality care. |
