Team-Focused Care
At James Graham Brown Cancer Center, we have a unified approach
to cancer care, with multidisciplinary
teams of physicians who work together to guide each patient
through diagnosis, treatment and recovery. This approached is applied
to many disciplines, including head and
neck cancer, melanoma, gynecologic
cancers and breast cancer. These
teams have an unparalleled depth and breadth of experience. They
have trained at the world’s most renowned cancer centers,
including M.D. Anderson and Sloan-Kettering.
Using this team-focused approach, our treatment plans reflect the
combined expertise of many physicians - surgeons, medical
oncologists, radiologists, radiation oncologists and pathologists,
as well a psychologists, nutritionists and physical therapists.
This approach also ensures that patients who need several
different therapies to treat their cancer will receive the ideal
combination.
In addition, our specially trained oncology nurses care for patients
before, during, and after surgery; help manage clinical trials;
and educate patients about what to expect when they go home from
the hospital. They also communicate with family members to address
their needs and concerns.
We recognize that each patient is unique and each type of cancer
is different — the best treatment for one patient may not
be right for another. Thus, we develop a treatment plan tailored
for each patient.
