Treatment capabilitiesWhen your diagnosis is confirmed, your physician will explain the different
treatment options available. Together, you will arrive at a treatment plan that
meets the needs of your particular diagnosis and your personal goals. We offer
a broad range of cancer-fighting treatments, including: SurgeryUsually performed when the cancer is contained to a specific area or as part of a combined treatment plan. Medical treatmentsMay involve the use of special cancer-fighting drugs, called chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Outpatient oncology servicesIncludes chemotherapy, blood transfusion and other infusion therapies available in the outpatient oncology clinic. Radiation therapyUsed to reduce or eliminate tumors located in a specific area. Radiation therapy is usually necessary on a daily basis for several weeks. Biological response modification therapyKnown as immuno-therapy, biological response modifiers are either man-made or natural substances which assist the body’s own immune system in eliminating or inhibiting cancer cell growth. Immuno-therapy also repairs normal cells damaged by radiation or chemotherapy. Pain management
The goal of pain management is to assist you with optimal pain control through
the use of medications and additional therapies, allowing you to maintain maximum
comfort and functioning. Consultation with an interdisciplinary pain team is
available at the request of the patient and physician for assistance with pain
management.
