NEW – First in New Mexico to Offer Advanced Estrogen Receptor (ER) PET Imaging

New Mexico Cancer Center is proud to be the first facility in New Mexico to offer Cerianna® (FES) PET imaging for eligible patients with recurrent or metastatic ER-positive breast cancer.

Why Choose Our Team?

• Personalized Care: We tailor treatment plans to your individual needs and goals, ensuring the most effective and appropriate approach. We understand that receiving a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming. Suddenly there are appointments, medical decisions, insurance questions, and everyday concerns - all at once. At New Mexico Cancer Center and Health Specialists of New Mexico, we understand how heavy that can feel. That’s why we don’t rely on just one navigator. We believe you deserve an entire team - people who work together to support you medically, emotionally, and practically, so you can focus on what matters most: your health and your life. Our breast cancer patients also receive additional navigation support through a dedicated nurse who works closely with our breast surgeon. We also collaborate with radiology partners to help guide patients through diagnostic steps. You can read more about our navigation team here.
