A recent article from January 22, 2026 highlighted how biomarker testing is transforming cancer care by helping doctors choose more personalized, targeted treatments for cancers like prostate, bladder, lung, and multiple myeloma.

We’re proud that West Cancer Center & Research Institute experts were part of this important conversation, including Camille Hill, PharmD, Vice President of Oncology Pharmacy Services, and Sylvia Richey, MD, Chief Medical Officer. Their insights reinforced how collaboration between physicians, pharmacists, and care teams helps remove barriers like cost, timing, and access to testing.

Experts discuss the impact of biomarker testing on GU and lung cancers, as well as myeloma, emphasizing its role in personalized treatment and patient care advancements.

West Cancer Center Patients:

As we approach the weekend, our leadership team will be monitoring weather conditions closely and making decisions about clinic operations on a day to day basis. At this time, we anticipate being open on Friday.

Should conditions become hazardous on Monday, we will adjust operations as needed to ensure safe access for you and our staff. If weather conditions require us to change our hours or close, you will receive an automated message thru our reminder system. Once operations normalize, our team will be in touch to reschedule your impacted appointments.

To help you plan ahead, we encourage the following:

• Check our website-westcancercenter.org and our Facebook and Instagram pages for real time updates on clinic hours and delays.

• If you need to pick up prescriptions or treatment related medications, please call ahead before Friday at noon so we can prepare them for early pickup.

• If you prefer to reschedule an appointment that may be affected by weather, our team is happy to assist. Please call 901.683.0055

While the forecast may be unpredictable, our dedication to providing compassionate, uninterrupted cancer care remains constant. We are prepared, flexible, and here to support you in every way we can.
