Southeast Nebraska Cancer Center began fourteen years ago with one physician, Dr. Cary Peterson, and the concept of a patient friendly clinic. Dr. Mark Carlson joined the practice; adding his ideas of more services for patients and, as they say, “the rest is history.” We now have nine physicians with over 135 combined years of experience and a host of services available to serve our patients.
SNCC’s Goal
“Oncology care has become very complex over the last several decades. Where in the past a simple plan such as surgery would suffice, now most treatments involve a multimodality approach. This multimodality approach includes not only surgery, but oftentimes, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. In 2005, we brought medical and radiation oncology together in one setting to minimize the difficulty in coordination of care. That was the primary goal in creating Southeast Nebraska Cancer Center in 2005.”
