The main treatment options from most cancers are surgery, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy. Your treatment program could include one of these or a combination of them.
We are ever-mindful that successful cancer treatment can also involve emotional support and financial support. Ours is a multidisciplinary team approach to treating cancer, and you can rely on your healthcare team to treat YOU, our patient, and not just your illness.
We are extremely proud of our award-winning record for both patient experience and patient safety.
Surgery
Our experienced surgeons and surgical oncologists have performed thousands of procedures in Mon Health's state-of-the-art surgical suites. Technological innovations include minimally invasive options such as robotically assisted surgery with the daVinci surgical system.
Your particular surgery will depend on a number of factors, including your cancer diagnosis, and the size and location of the tumor.
