Cathleen Lane PUBLISHER San Antonio ............................................... clane@mdnews.com 210-859-1232 ............................................... @MDNewsSanAntTX Hello, and welcome to the latest issue of MD News San Antonio. According to the National Cancer Institute, about 38.5 percent of men and women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lifetimes. Statistics tell us that 67 percent of those diagnosed will still be alive five years after diagnosis. We've made advances in cancer research, diagnosis and treatment over the decades, but the work is nowhere near done. In our cover story, we learn how Methodist Healthcare is meeting the needs of its patients by exploring a holistic approach that addresses all the patient's treatment needs. Our special clinical section about oncology addresses how numerous local oncology practices and supportive services provide support for cancer patients — whether that's through innovative treatment, groundbreaking research or by providing end-of-life care. Also in this issue, we learn about Rapid Recovery Center's new model for post-acute care. You can leverage MD News' multiple platforms to share information about your organization's expert providers and advanced technologies with the region's referring physicians.
