Our Services
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is drug therapy that can kill cancer cells or stop them from
multiplying. With more than 100 chemotherapy medications available today,
we customize each patient’s treatment based on the cancer type,
treatment goals, patient’s response, and the most current research.
We also offer monoclonal antibody drugs, among the newest treatments for
a range of cancers.
Infusion therapy
Infusion therapy is treatment provided directly into the bloodstream through
a needle inserted in a vein in the forearm or hand. Infusion therapy can
treat cancer, cancer-related pain, infections, dehydration, hemophilia,
immune deficiencies and many other conditions. Our infusion areas feature
comfortable recliners, so patients may relax while they receive treatments
or laboratory testing.
Biological treatments
Biological treatments are therapies that use living organisms, substances
from such organisms, or manmade versions of these substances. For example,
some vaccines and bacteria stimulate the body’s immune system to
attack cancer cells.
Supportive care
Supportive care helps patients and families cope with all aspects of cancer,
from diagnosis to post-treatment rehabilitation. Our supportive care includes
prevention and reduction of adverse effects from cancer and its treatment,
including physical and psychological issues.
Patient education
We provide a wide range of information to help you make the best decisions
about your care, guide your diagnostic and treatment plan, connect with
support services and live as healthfully as possible.
Clinical trials
Clinical trials are research studies that test new treatments. We are involved
in numerous clinical trials that enable our patients to receive promising
new therapies and contribute to scientific understanding.
