New Patient Information

To make your visit at the Houston Cancer Institute comfortable, we recommend that you bring a friend or family member with you.   When you are talking about your cancer and treatment options with the doctor, it is sometimes overwhelming to the patient, so it is helpful if someone else is with you who can help you ask questions and understand the information that can benefit your journey to better health.   
Please download our pledge to you.
