Quality Cancer Care Close to Home

At NCH, we focus on providing you the best preventive care possible when it comes to your risk for cancer. With regular screening and advanced diagnostics, our goal is to identify cancer at the earliest stage possible.

If you do receive a cancer diagnosis, our highly skilled team of board-certified medical and radiation oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, other specialists and advanced practitioners will work with you to create a personalized, comprehensive treatment plan focused on the best possible outcome. Additionally, our breast, lung, colorectal, prostate and pancreatic cancer patients’ care teams also include a dedicated patient navigator. This specially trained nurse helps patients understand their treatment options, assists with scheduling tests and appointments, and provides resources and support.

Precision Medicine

By looking at malignant tumors on a molecular level, we can identify a tumor’s unique gene mutation(s) and expressions so that we target it with the most appropriate treatment. We can customize a patient’s care and treatment plan based on his or her unique genetic characteristics and health history.

Genetic Counseling

For patients who have a family history of cancer and/or a higher risk for cancer due to genetics, we work with Insight Medical Genetics, a group of genetic counselors who help patients understand their risks for cancer and explore lifestyle changes that can minimize those risks.
