Cancer Services
Since 1946, when Mississippi Baptist Hospital purchased a “deep therapy” X-ray machine for radiation treatment, Baptist has been a leader in cancer care and services throughout the Magnolia State.
Today, Baptist Cancer Center, on the campus of Mississippi Baptist Medical Center, treats more cancer patients than any hospital in Mississippi. Baptist Cancer Center has the full range of the most advanced technology in preventive, diagnostic, treatment, support and follow-up care in one convenient location, and a staff of physicians and highly trained nurses with years of experience in caring for cancer patients and their families.
At Baptist Cancer Center, patients have convenient and seamless access to all diagnostic, interventional and support services during every stage of treatment. We’re connected to the hospital’s radiation oncology department, hospital room floors, and the Colonnades Medical Office Building. Designated parking for Baptist Cancer Center is available near the front entrance.
Lung Select Screening Program
Lung Select is a low-dose CT scan which detects abnormalities that may be too small to be seen on a routine X-ray. It is recommended for people ages 55-77 who are smokers or people with a significant smoking history who have quit within the past 15 years. Medicare or private insurance may cover the cost of this screening with certain criteria. This screening is offered Monday through Friday by appointment at MBMC.
