At Community Memorial Hospital’s Cancer Care Center, all types of treatment that may be needed for your type of cancer are available – whether you require surgery, radiation therapy or chemotherapy. Receiving a cancer diagnosis is often frightening. Knowing you can get everything you need close to home can make it just a little less stressful.
We’re here to provide you with treatment that will be optimally effective for your cancer. Oncologists at the Cancer Care Center know how important it is to work in multidisciplinary teams that approach cancer treatment from many different angles. This means your doctors, nurses and other treatment team members consult each other and collaborate to put together a treatment plan that will work for you as an individual. In fact, they meet regularly in “tumor boards” to examine each person’s case carefully. (A tumor board is a group of physicians from all specialties involved with treating prostate cancer, as well as others who specialize in the disease. This group meets to discuss the details of each case and recommend treatment options that will result in the best possible outcome for each individual.) Clinical trials are also available for eligible patients.
Without having to travel to multiple hospitals or clinics, each cancer patient receives the expertise of many cancer specialists – including surgeons, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, pathologists, radiologists and others – expertise that is needed to tackle a complex disease like cancer.
In addition to providing the most advanced treatments, we are here to answer your questions and to connect you with all the support resources you need while you are receiving treatment and afterward.
