We are accredited to treat any type of cancer - no matter what
the diagnosis is, Carson Tahoe is here to help. Detection is not
the Same thing as diagnosis. Lumps, growths and other
abnormalities or symptoms can be detected by a patient or
doctor. The abnormality will then be carefully diagnosed to
determine the specific cause and treatment options. A diagnosis
will require a variety of tests to investigate whether the
abnormality is caused by cancer and what type of cancer it may
be. For instance, a patient may notice a lump caused by breast
cancer, but a diagnosis will explain how advanced it is and what
specific type it is (i.e. if it is started in the lobes it is
“lobular” or if it is started in the ducts it is “ductal”). The
stage of cancer determines how far it has spread. Once cancer is
properly diagnosed, it is important to determine what stage it
is in. Treatment depends on what stage cancer is in and some
cancers, like leukemia, cannot be staged. Carson Tahoe’s
