Because cancer can occur in the cells of virtually any bone, tissue or
organ throughout the body, there are many types of the disease. By definition,
cancer is an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. Cancer cells rapidly
reproduce despite restriction of space, nutrients, or signals sent from
the body to stop reproduction. Additionally, cancer that begins in one
area may spread into other parts of the body.
It is our goal to detect and treat cancer cells as early as possible. While
Big Horn Basin Regional Cancer Center treats nearly every kind of cancer,
some of the more common are listed below.

"Had to bring my daughter for a shoulder injury, on July 4th. I was thoroughly impressed. The staff was absolutely great, very friendly and compassionate. They took great care of my daughter and explained the diagnosis and discharge orders with great detail. I only wish our ER back home could be this professional. I know this is a smaller town and more tight knit, but this hospital/ER could set an example for the rest of the country. Thanks to the staff, physician and PA for the excellent care."

"I was a walk in patient on 5/29/18. I had been sick for several days while on a month long motorhome trip. The reception staff was friendly and efficient. I was seen quickly by the PA on duty, Robert Lang. He listened to me, did an exam, diagnosed my illness as acute bronchitis, and prescribed the necessary medication. I was feeling better in just a few days which enabled me to enjoy the remainder of my trip. I was sick and a long way from home so I really appreciated the excellent and friendly care that I received."
