Cancer Care
Cancer is a disease in which the body's abnormal cells multiply at a higher than normal rate. These cells spread to one or more parts of the body, sometimes causing the development of masses and tumors. The Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital Cancer Care Center facility in Warsaw combines cancer treatment technology with oncology specialists to deliver care and support to cancer patients and their families.
