ST. LOUIS -The Saint Louis University Cancer Center, a renovated, advanced facility in midtown St. Louis, combines some of the latest advances in research, prevention and education with compassionate, personalized care.

The SLU Cancer Center is operated and funded by Saint Louis University and Tenet Healthcare. It occupies 50,000 square feet at 3655 Vista Ave., in Saint Louis University Hospital's West Pavilion, which had been Bethesda General Hospital. 

The SLU Cancer Center uses some of the latest screening and diagnostic tools from across the Saint Louis University Health Sciences Center to detect cancer – including an advanced Breast Imaging Center, an advanced endoscopy suite, computed tomography scans, positron emission tomography and MRI.

Healthcare professionals from Saint Louis University collaborate to create personalized care plans, including investigational treatments that are unavailable in many clinical practices. No two treatment approaches are the same because every patient's condition is different.

The center's Community Cancer Resource Center extends its personalized approach to education still further. Staffed by oncology professionals, the center offers multimedia information services and outreach seminars to educate patients, families and members of the community about cancer detection, prevention and treatment.
