Patient-centered care by a team of cancer specialists

 

Our medical oncologist works as a member of a multidisciplinary team to provide you with the most comprehensive, patient-centered care. Our goal is to design the best treatment plan, personalized to fight your specific cancer.

 

We strive to bring the most recent and advanced treatments to people touched by cancer. At Spalding Medical Oncology, we take each person’s individual health conditions and goals into consideration when we design a treatment plan. We have the latest in genetically-based targeted therapies, immunotherapy and chemotherapy to fight various types of cancer. Targeted therapies are drugs that target specific genetic abnormalities in the cancer’s DNA. Through DNA sequencing of a previously biopsied tumor, tissue or blood sample, we can determine whether one of these targeted therapies might be effective. Immunotherapy drugs harness the patient’s own immune system to detect and fight the cancer. And, newer chemotherapies have been developed with fewer side effects and newer cancer support drugs that have improved the chemotherapy experience for patients.
