Our approach is holistic, not only treating the disease with medicine, but also combining nutritional, physical, psychological and spiritual therapies to positively impact the patient's quality of life. Treating the mind, body and spirit together is essential in overcoming the disease.
For people newly diagnosed with breast, urologic, colorectal, melanoma or lung cancer, we offer special clinics where you can get a second opinion from a team of specialists who review your specific case to develop the best treatment plan for your cancer.
Treatment Methods
Presbyterian's approach to cancer treatment not only combines traditional therapies such as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, but we also recognize the importance of newer treatments such as biological therapy and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).
Our team of cancer specialists will develop an individualized plan that encompasses the latest treatments to ensure the best possible outcome. The various options may be used alone or in combination, and different forms of treatment may be given at the same time or one after another.
Surgical oncology is the speciality that uses surgery to treat cancer. Learn about the latest surgical treatments offered at Presbyterian.
Medical oncologists are trained to diagnose and treat cancer with chemotherapy, biotherapy, hormone therapy and other medications.
Radiation oncology is the specialty that uses radiation to treat cancer. Learn about the latest radiation treatments we offer including MammoSite.
In addition to proven treatment options, we also believe that research is our most powerful tool in finding a cure for cancer. Therefore, some Cancer Center patients are eligible to participate in clinical research trials that are testing the most advanced treatment options available today.
