Cancer treatments we provide
Every step of the way, we work to ensure you have the most support possible, providing you with resources to keep you informed and motivated throughout your cancer journey.
Cancer treatments we offer include:
- Chemotherapy — This infusion service uses powerful medications to kill fast-growing cancer cells. Chemotherapy is a common treatment and may be used by itself, or in conjunction with other cancer treatments.
- Interventional oncology — If your cancer cannot be surgically removed or effectively treated with chemotherapy, we may resort to interventional oncology. Possible forms of interventional oncology include chemoembolization, complex biopsies, cryoablation (destroying cancer cells with cold), drug-eluting bead embolization, intra-arterial yttrium-90 radioembolization, radiofrequency ablation (killing tumors with heat) and tumor embolization.
- Radiation therapy— This treatment uses high-energy X-rays to destroy cancer cells. Radiation therapy may be a part of your care plan, and works well when used in tandem with surgery and chemotherapy.
- Surgical oncology — In some instances, surgery can be your most viable option for tumor removal. Our cancer surgeons are equipped to address a wide variety of cancers, and work with you to determine the best course of surgical treatment that fits with your needs and current level of wellness.
