Our Services

Specialized treatment

Our Cancer Registry has collected, interpreted and reported data about our cancer patient population in and around the Aberdeen area since 1974, providing follow-up on all cancer patients diagnosed and/or treated at the hospital.

The Cancer Program at Avera St. Luke’s again received a three-year approval "with commendation" by the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons in 2010.

Surgical Services

A number of Aberdeen surgeons deal with cancer concerns. Avera St. Luke's medical/dental staff includes surgery specialists in the fields of general surgery, oncologic surgery, ENT, OB-GYN, neurosurgery, head and neck surgery, and urology. With plastic and reconstructive surgery, Avera St. Luke's can also offer breast reconstruction for women undergoing mastectomies and lesion biopsies and removals.

Other Cancer Services

Avera St. Luke's cancer services include prevention programs, such as breast cancer and prostate screening clinics; education classes, diagnostic evaluation, and continuing care and support services.

Families from outside Aberdeen can access the Auxiliary Guest House for comfortable, home-like lodging while a family member is receiving treatment. These and other services are part of the commitment to quality cancer care at Avera St. Luke's.
