Cancer Testing and Screening:
Screening involves checking the entire body for cancer prior to the emergence of any symptoms. Regular screening test are crucial as they enable early diagnosis of various forms of cancer such as breast, cervical, and colorectal (colon), when the treatment is likely to work best. Early detection of cancer reduces the likelihood of dying from the disease. In cancer screening we check for abnormal cells that likely to develop in cancer. Through cancer screening we are able to provide preventative care to the public, thus build healthier communities.
Chemotherapy:
Chemotherapy is a category of cancer treatment that uses one or more anti-cancer drugs as part of a standardized chemotherapy regimen. At Texas Care Centre we use chemotherapy depending on the form of cancer, severity, and duration of ailment. Chemotherapy is majorly an outpatient program. Administration of chemotherapy and other special medication is undertaken by certified registered nurses.
Linear Accelerator Radiotherapy:
A linear accelerator (LINAC) is the device most commonly used for external beam radiation treatments for patients with cancer. The linear accelerator is used to treat parts or the entire organs of the body. Individuals scheduled for radiation therapy using a LINAC, the patient's radiation oncologist collaborates with a radiation dosimetrist and a medical physicist for quality care. Radioactive Iodine Treatment:
Radioactive Iodine Treatment is a highly lucrative treatment and has been used to treat over-active thyroid disorders (hyperthyroidism) since the early 1940s. This is an effective treatment method as it has the ability to destroy any thyroid tissue that could not be removed by surgery, therefore, it treats some types of thyroid cancer that have spread to lymph nodes and other parts of the body.

The Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret has acquired supplementary equipment to handle the high number of cancer patients seeking treatment both as inpatients and outpatients in western Kenya.
The second largest referral hospital in the country has a unit that can handle 500 patients, which is however inadequate for patients some from as far as Uganda.
“The unit can handle diagnostic and chemotherapy but the high charges are unaffordable to most patients,” Dr Wilson Aruasa, the hospital’s chief executive officer said.
SPECIALISTS
Dr Aruasa disclosed that the hospital has procured both Linac and a brachytherapy machines, which are to be delivered, installed and commissioned by April.
“Cancer is treated in six cycles with charges ranging between Sh5,000 and Sh10,000 and we are working with insurance agencies to make it affordable to most patients,” he said.
