Our Cancer Institute is a Nationally Accredited Community Cancer Center by the American College of Surgeons (ACoS) Commission on Cancer. We offer you access to outstanding specialists and advanced screening, diagnostics, treatment and professional supportive services.
We encourage you to undergo regular cancer screenings to build awareness and learn prevention strategies. Routine screening can detect cancer in its earliest stages, often before you would experience symptoms or the disease advances.
Our Cancer Institute uses the latest technology for cancer screening and diagnosis, including low-dose CT scans for up to 40 percent less radiation exposure. We provide you with comprehensive educational information related to your diagnosis and will schedule appointments with our experienced cancer specialists for follow-up tests.
We offer screening at the hospital and community-based locations for the following:
Free mammograms for underinsured area residents
Cervical Cancer
Colon and Rectal (Colorectal) Cancer
Skin Cancer
Diagnostic Tests by Specialty
We are proud to offer patients prompt service and limited wait times for appointments to develop a plan of care quickly and efficiently on cancer diagnoses.
You will meet with our oncology nurse navigators before scheduled tests or biopsies. Nurse navigators offer you support during testing, provide thorough and coordinated services after tests are completed, and arrange for follow-up services and appointments, if necessary.
Our cancer specialists and pathologists use the most sophisticated technology available to accurately diagnose and stage cancer. We can also provide you with second opinions or verification of cancer diagnoses.

Patti Lyons, 61, of Doylestown, is the proud owner of Peace Valley Lavender Farm. Five years ago, she received a diagnosis of rectal cancer. Today, she is sharing her story of healing. Patti says the compassionate care she received and the special connection she formed with her colorectal surgeon played an equally important role in her decisions to receive her care at Doylestown Hospital. "You don't appreciate how important it is to have this level of expertise and service close by until you need it," says Patti.
Doylestown Hospital recently earned a three-year accreditation from the National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer (NAPRC), a quality program of the American College of Surgeons. Only four hospitals in Pennsylvania hold this prestigious distinction, and ours is the only one in Bucks County.
