Cardio-Oncology

Cardio-oncology focuses on the detection, monitoring, and treatment of cardiovascular disease occurring as a side effect of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Hematology and Cellular Cancer Therapies

Hematology and cellular cancer therapies involves the treatment of blood cancers at the cellular level through the use of a stem cell transplant. These stem cells are obtained from a donor and transfused into the patient to replace the unhealthy bone marrow that is destroyed using chemotherapy and radiation.

Genetic Testing

Genetic testing looks for changes in your DNA and is useful in many areas of medicine and can determine the medical care you receive.

Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy, also known as radiotherapy, is the use of high doses of radiation to kill off cancer cells and cause tumors to shrink. In most cases, the radiation used is X-rays, although other types of radiation can be used. Radiation therapy is most often delivered externally, but can also be used internally.

Cancer Center

Cancer centers carry out laboratory, clinical, and cancer research. While most centers provide care for people with cancer, some only conduct laboratory research.

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are research studies performed in people that are aimed at evaluating a medical, surgical, or behavioral intervention. They are the primary way that researchers find out if a new treatment, like a new drug or diet or medical device is safe and effective in people.

Endocrine Cancer

Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is when breast cells become abnormal. These abnormal cells grow, divide, and create new cells that do not function normally.

Gastrointestinal Cancer

Gastrointestinal cancers are malignant conditions of the gastrointestinal tract and the organs related to digestion.

Genitourinary Cancer

Genitourinary cancers develop in the male reproductive system and adrenal glands that are a part of the GU tract.

Gynecologic Cancer

Gynecologic cancer is cancer that starts in a woman's reproductive organs and may be treated with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.

Head and Neck Cancer

Head and neck cancer includes any cancer that occurs in the mouth, larynx, throat, nose, sinuses, lips, and salivary glands. The most common causes of head and neck cancers are the use of tobacco, heavy alcohol use, and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is a form of cancer that occurs when basal cells of the skin mutate. These mutated cells grow and multiple rapidly, crowding out and destroying healthy cells and forming a tumor. This cancer can affect the top layers of skin or can go into the deeper layers of the skin and it can spread to other parts of the body.

Thoracic Cancer

Thoracic cancer is any cancer that is the result of cell mutations in the organs, glands, or tissues in the chest cavity. These mutated cells grow and multiple rapidly, crowding out and destroying healthy cells and forming a tumor. This cancer can spread to other parts of the body.

Lung Cancer

Lung cancer may originate in the lungs (primary cancer), or it may start elsewhere in the body and spread to the lungs (secondary cancer). There are two main types of lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer is a fast-growing cancer. It may be limited in nature, meaning it affects only one lung or its surrounding tissue, or it may be extensive, meaning that it has metastasized (spread) to other parts of the body. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is more common, making up about 85% of all lung cancers. When discovered in its earliest stages, NSCLC is one of the most treatable cancers.
