Radiation Oncology

Our chemotherapy programs range from the well-established to the experimental. There are dozens of drugs used in chemotherapy, and they can be delivered by a variety of routes; for example, intravenously, through injections or with implanted or portable pumps. At the Cancer Care Center, we stay at the leading edge of new breakthroughs in chemotherapy drugs, dosages and delivery through our involvement in clinical trials.

We offer biologic therapy. This method to treat cancer mobilizes the body's immune system to recognize cancer cells as foreign invaders and destroy them. Also known as immunotherapy, this treatment can employ biologic agents such as interferon, interleukin, colony-stimulating factors, T-cells and monoclonal antibodies.

We excel in bone marrow and stem cell transplants. Both capabilities are important. In allogeneic bone marrow transplant, a healthy person's bone marrow is transplanted into patients fighting acute leukemia, lymphoma or multiple myeloma. Autologous bone m arrow or peripheral stem cell transplantation involves collecting and storing the patient's own bone marrow or stem cells - a blood component - prior to radiation or chemotherapy for reinfusion when treatment is complete.
