Cancer Center
The importance that women, especially over the age of 40 get regular, high-quality mammograms at an accredited center is unparalleled. It is the best form of detection and control of potential breast cancer. With the help of the Women’s Life Imaging Center, Wentworth-Douglass is prepared to aid in your cancer-related needs. If a diagnosis is made, WDH offers comprehensive programs in medical oncology, further testing, and radiation therapy. The Seacoast Cancer Center provides the latest in treatments and support services for its patients. Fortunately, for women in the Seacoast area, WDH is the only hospital with a female radiation oncologist, using HDR brachytherapy – a procedure that delivers a precise dose of radiation automatically through applicators pre-positioned in or near the tumor.

Gynecology
Wentworth-Douglass Hospital is proud to announce their acquisition of the latest in robotic surgical technology, the daVinciSTM System – the only hospital in the Seacoast area to offer this equipment. This is the first and only laparoscopic robot approved for urologic, general and most recently, gynecological surgeries. It is commonly used for hysterectomy and myomectomy procedures. This new technology offers an array of benefits to patients and doctors alike. The system allows a less invasive means to surgery which leads to shorter hospital visits, less pain and scarring, less risk of infection, less blood loss, and faster recovery.
