Introducing New Mexico Cancer Center’s Groundbreaking Alzheimer’s Program

Innovative Diagnosis & Treatment for a Brighter Future

At New Mexico Cancer Center (NMCC), we believe that knowledge is power—especially when it comes to Alzheimer’s disease. That’s why we’ve launched a first-of-its-kind program designed to diagnose and manage Alzheimer’s early, helping patients maintain their brain function, independence, and quality of life for as long as possible.

A Smarter Approach to Alzheimer’s Care

Our comprehensive program offers a proactive way to take control of cognitive health. We combine cutting-edge genetic testing, advanced PET imaging, and expert medical consultation to detect Alzheimer’s early and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. While Alzheimer’s can’t be prevented or reversed, early intervention can significantly slow its progression—helping you or your loved one continue living life on your own terms.s.

Now Offering Vizamyl™ for Advanced Diagnosis

NMCC is proud to be one of the first facilities in New Mexico able to prescribe Vizamyl, a highly advanced PET imaging agent used to detect amyloid plaques—one of the key indicators of Alzheimer’s. Until recently, Vizamyl was not available in the state, making early and accurate diagnosis more difficult. With this breakthrough availability, we’re ensuring that New Mexicans have access to the latest advancements in Alzheimer’s detection and care.
