Multidisciplinary Care is the Best MedicineBecause these cancers are often complicated, effective treatment requires a team effort by several different physician experts. The physicians work cooperatively to create comprehensive care plans for patients. They meet regularly to discuss individual cases, evaluate treatment options, recommend care plans and follow up on individual progress. Cooperative care helps ensure that every patient has an optimal treatment plan and receives the most appropriate therapy.
Our program also includes trained specialists who work to meet the quality-of-life needs of patients and their families. Program coordinators streamline the care experience for patients and make sure they get all the services they need.
