While cancer is the second leading cause of death in our country, it is also a disease benefiting from many of the leading advancements in medicine. The Providence Cancer Centers are on the forefront of these innovations, continually bringing breakthroughs in techniques, procedures, equipment and medications to patients suffering from cancer.
The Providence Cancer Centers also have a respected research center. Our distinguished team of oncologists, scientists, nurses and staff are actively involved in groundbreaking cancer research. Our physicians include national leaders of the American College of Radiology, Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG), and American Society of Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology with access to cutting edge research protocols available from the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Program, the Southwest Oncology Group, the Gynecologic Oncology Group, and the RTOG. The team participates in nationally recognized clinical trials to continually provide improved care and research related to cancer treatment and prevention. This means our patients have access to a number of therapies not generally available.
