The Future of Cancer Care is Here
The cancer center provides Northshore patients with local access to more integrated cancer services than have ever been available in west St. Tammany Parish.
The team of healthcare professionals takes a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of cancer to create custom treatment plans for each of our newly diagnosed patients to ensure coordinated, seamless care. The care team can include surgeons, medical and/or radiation oncology and other cancer specialists. This team approach means that our patients have a whole network to lean on and each member of the team knows what the other is thinking and doing.
In addition to new treatment options, the center provides enhanced services and a more holistic approach to caring for all patients’ needs. On-campus physical therapy, yoga, acupuncture, meditation, nutrition, and peer and support group meetings will provide patients with many more resources throughout their cancer journey.
Patients have access to the largest clinical trials network in Louisiana, including a broad portfolio of Phase 1 and 2 trials, allowing patients to stay closer to home for these groundbreaking, novel therapies.
- The combined capabilities of Ochsner and STHS offer a comprehensive program from screening and prevention through treatment, surgery and clinical trials. As partners, we are committed to providing specialized care and expertise through Ochsner Health’s advanced care options and St. Tammany Health System’s local integrative health solutions.

Recommended Screening Criteria for Women
1. Breast Cancer Testing
Many breast cancers don't come with symptoms and are only detected on screening mammograms, which is why we encourage yearly mammograms for most women age 40 and older, regardless of family history.
2. Cervical Cancer Testing
Cervical cancer screening recommendations are Pap test every three years from age 21 to 29. HPV testing starts at age 30 every five years (preferred) or Pap every three years. Women age 65 or older may no longer need screening exams.
3. Colon Cancer Testing (Colonoscopy)
Starting at age 45, women should talk with a healthcare provider about testing options.
4. Skin Cancer Check
Skin cancer screening is generally recommended for people at increased risk for developing skin cancer. Not everyone with risk factors develops skin cancer. However, if you do have one or more risk factors, discuss them with your health care provider and get regular skin cancer screenings. The earlier skin cancer is found, the better the chance of it being treated successfully.
The following factors put you at increased risk for skin cancer:
- Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure: Extensive lifetime sun exposure or occasional intense exposure causing a sunburn
- Tanning bed use
- Age: The longer you are exposed to the sun over time, the higher your risk of developing skin cancer
- Having a fair complexion, blonde or red hair, freckles, blue eyes and/or a tendency to sunburn
- Having 50 or more moles
5. Lung Cancer Testing
Lung cancer screenings are recommended if you are age 50-80, are a current smoker (or former smoker who quit in the past 15 years) and have a 20 pack per year smoking history (for example, one pack a day for 20 years or two packs a day for 10 years).
Recommended Screening Criteria for Men
1. Prostate Cancer Testing
Beginning at age 45, you should speak with your health care provider about the benefits and risks of prostate screening to check for prostate cancer. If you are Black or have a family history of prostate cancer, talk to your doctor sooner.
If you choose prostate cancer screening, begin at age 45 with a baseline PSA test and strongly consider a baseline digital rectal exam. Continue testing as indicated by your previous test results.
2. Colon Cancer Testing (Colonoscopy)
Starting at age 45, men should talk with a healthcare provider about testing options.
