Every cancer treatment plan is different, and your condition is always treated like the unique one that it is. Treatment plans in our oncology program may include a combination of modalities and therapies, but if surgery is required, our surgical oncologists use the latest techniques, such as minimally invasive surgery, to reduce scarring and shorten recovery times.
Our oncology team has experience in screening, diagnosing and treating many types of cancers, including:
- Breast
- Bladder
- Colorectal
- Gynecologic
- Head and neck
- Kidney
- Prostate
Other members of our multidisciplinary oncology team include medical, surgical and radiation oncologists, radiation therapists, physicists and social workers who work together to carry out a treatment plan personalized for your needs. Additionally, you have personalized access to an oncology nurse navigator, who will work closely with you and the rest of our oncology team to ease the strains of the cancer treatment process.
If you are seeking cancer treatment, or a second opinion, we invite you to find an oncologist and learn more about our services.
