Our Comprehensive Cancer Center team

We offer an integrated, multidisciplinary approach to cancer treatment. Twice each week, experts in pathology, radiology, surgery, medical oncology, and radiation oncology meet to discuss the cases of individual patients and to collaborate in the development or modification of treatment plans as needed.

Additionally, the Comprehensive Cancer Center works closely with departments across the hospital including Rehabilitation Services, Nutrition Services, Pharmacy, and more to ensure that every aspect of your care is addressed.

Comprehensive Cancer Center registered nurses receive special training in the care of patients undergoing cancer treatment. Many of these RNs are also certified by the Oncology Nursing Society and proudly display the OCN designation on their name badges.
