We provide comprehensive care, with you in mind.
At Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center, our highly experienced physicians and staff are dedicated to taking care of you, not just your cancer.
As part of a nationally recognized cancer center, our team focuses on every aspect of cancer, including what your life will be like when your treatment is complete.
Our team works together to offer some of the most advanced procedures and innovative therapies in the country. Our clinicians are also top researchers, finding new and innovative treatments and therapies, as well as what it takes to get you back to your life.
As members of an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, our doctors, nurses, and staff are among the nation's leaders in cancer research, education, prevention, and outreach. Our experience—and our expertise—guides the cancer care we provide to patients like you. We are always searching for ways to make the best cancer treatments even better.
We mean it when we say you are at the center of your cancer care. Our care approach is personalized on many levels. We recognize all the promise awaiting your life after cancer.
Your MOG (multidisciplinary oncology group) brings together experts in your specific type of cancer, approaching it from several perspectives. All of these minds are trained on success for you.
Your team of specialists will provide you with all the options available for the goal of returning you to health. We will work with you to choose the options that succeed for you.
On a basic biological level, your cancer has a DNA make up that’s unique to you. Cancer treatment advances—including many developed by Holden researchers—help unlock that DNA signature, allowing medicines and other treatments to work as effectively as possible to eliminate the disease.
While treating cancer is first and foremost on your team’s agenda, we know that we’re caring for you as a complete person. Our care addresses other conditions in your life and health, including the effects of cancer on your psychological wellbeing.
Members of your care team know what a cancer diagnosis means for you and your family. Our careers as researchers and care givers are invested in reducing the burden of cancer for you and for generations to come.
