Cancer Care

We assemble a team of specialists tailored to your needs, including diagnostic experts, oncologists, and oncology-certified nurses, ensuring a comprehensive approach to your care. From comprehensive medical and radiation oncology services to highly trained medical and surgical specialists, everything you need is here, close to home.

• Specialized Care Team: Our team includes medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and other clinicians with extensive experience in cancer treatment.
• Advanced Diagnostic Imaging: We use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, including a 64-slice CT scanner, MRI, ultrasound, bone scans, digital mammography, and PET/CT, to detect cancer at its earliest stages. Our skilled pathology team plays a crucial role in diagnosing cancer and assessing its behavior to inform personalized treatment plans.
• Minimally Invasive Biopsy Techniques: With advanced image-guided techniques, many biopsy procedures no longer require surgery, allowing for less invasive and more accurate diagnoses.
• Genetic Counseling and Testing: Our genetic counselors, in collaboration with medical oncologists, provide screenings and referrals for genetic testing to help assess your cancer risk.
• Access to Clinical Trials: Through our connection to Mass General’s clinical trial programs, you can participate in cutting-edge research aimed at improving cancer diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and symptom management.
• Integrative Therapies for Enhanced Healing: We offer complementary therapies such as massage, acupuncture, yoga, Reiki, and dance therapy, which can help manage symptoms like nausea, pain, and fatigue, while also boosting the immune system. Consult with your physician to explore how these therapies may support your treatment.

We provide a wide range of support services that complement your medical care, ensuring you have the emotional, physical, and practical resources you need:

• Social Work: Assistance with coordinating and integrating support services from diagnosis through treatment and beyond.
• Pain Management and Rehabilitation: Through the Clough Family Center for Rehabilitative and Sports Therapies, we offer pain management, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy during and after treatment.
• Emerson Home Care: In-home support and care coordination, including hospice referrals when necessary.
• Survivorship Programs: Our team continues to support you after active treatment, offering a comprehensive range of survivorship care and resources.
