Cancer resource center

Sanford Health has partnered with the American Cancer Society to provide helpful support programs and services to our patients. With information ranging from free wig options and mastectomy products to temporary housing opportunities, the program is housed in the Cancer Care Clinic waiting area and is staffed by volunteers who have completed training at Sanford Health and the American Cancer Society.

Prostate health center

The prostate health center offers education to men who are interested in learning more about prostate disease. The Center can be used without a physician referral and without making an appointment to see a physician.

There is no charge.

The Center uses the newest technology in video and computer teaching aids to provide accurate and current information that can be understood easily.

If you or any man you know is concerned about prostate disease, the prostate health center is here to serve you. For more information or an appointment to visit the center, call us at

Radiation therapy

Sanford Health and St. Alexius Medical Center have combined efforts to provide optimum care for our patients who receive radiation therapy. Radiation services are provided at the Bismarck Cancer Center, 500 N. Eighth St., Bismarck, ND.

The Bismarck Cancer Center gives radiation therapy to cancer patients. Radiation therapy is the delivery of high energy radiation to a specific area to treat diseases. Patients are referred for this treatment by their physician. The radiation oncologist will discuss your diagnosis and the ways in which radiation therapy may help you.

If you will receive radiation therapy, there may be several tests or procedures that need to be done before the treatments can be started. This planning can take several days.
