At The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, we are dedicated to providing the finest technology and cancer treatment, customized for each individual. In today’s rapidly changing world of cancer research and almost daily breakthroughs, cancer treatment is now based on many different factors including family history, genetics, tumor size and tumor stage.

In addition to medical treatment, our physicians believe strongly in the effectiveness of emotional and spiritual support. We offer resources to help our patients and their families during their journey with cancer.

Cancer Treatment – Medical Oncology
All locations of The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders offer cancer treatment, or medical oncology, with cancer-fighting medicine that can be swallowed (pills or liquid), injected, or given intravenously. Physicians specializing in this area are called medical oncologists. Chemotherapy, immunologic therapies, targeted therapies, and clinical trials are different types of cancer treatment included in the category of medical oncology.
