While there is still more to learn about cancer, we understand that every diagnosis is different, including its treatment. The experts at The Oncology Institute have experience treating several forms of cancer, including sarcomas, carcinomas, myelomas, lymphomas, leukemias, gynecologic cancers, and central nervous system cancers.
We provide evidence-based therapies in a personalized care plan to fit your unique needs and focus on the options that will be most effective for you. We treat this variety of cancers using the following methods:
- Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is a common cancer treatment option that uses intravenous (IV) or oral drugs to reduce the spread of cancer cells. The type of chemotherapy you take can depend on your cancer type, stage, and your overall health.
- Radiation therapy: Radiation therapy can be internal or external. Internal radiation uses radioactive substance injections to identify and destroy cancer cells, while external radiation therapy uses gamma rays, X-rays, or other charged particles on the cancer.
- Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy can help an individual’s immune system recognize and target cancer cells. This treatment can reduce the disease’s effects and better preserve surrounding healthy cells.
- Hormone therapy: Hormone therapy reduces cancers fed by naturally occurring hormones. Specifically, this therapy limits or stunts hormone production to slow the spread of the tumor.
