Treatment and Services
Cancer screening

Often the earlier you find cancer, the easier it is to treat. Screening recommendations vary according to your age, family health history, personal history and risk factors. Talking with your doctor is the best way to determine the screening tests and schedule that are right for you.

Common screening tests include those for cancers of the breast, cervix, colon and rectum, lung and prostate. Based on your needs, your doctor may recommend other screening tests as well.

Diagnostic imaging

Diagnostic imaging tools allow us to detect many types of cancer. Imaging technology can also help us monitor your response to treatment.

Imaging tests we use include:

  • CT
  • Mammography
  • MRI
  • PET
  • Ultrasound
  • X-ray
Pathology

If we identify a tumor, a surgeon or other provider will biopsy it and send it to a pathologist who will determine if it’s cancer. If it is, the pathologist’s report will tell us the type and provide other useful information. Your doctors will use this information to guide your treatment.

Tumor review board

An important part of your care at Providence is our tumor review board. It brings together providers from many different specialties to discuss your case and make treatment recommendations. Members of the team may include surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, radiologists and others.

Genetic counseling and testing

Our genetic counseling program can help you determine if you or your family members are at risk for hereditary cancers. Knowledge of your risk can help you make informed decisions about treatment, screening and prevention strategies.

Our genetic services include:

  • Assessment of hereditary risk
  • Counseling regarding medical and family history
  • Evaluation of medical and family history information to determine the likelihood that a condition may be hereditary
  • Genetic testing when a genetic cause is suspected and testing is desired
  • Interpretation of test results
  • Risk reduction strategies
  • Screening recommendations
Treatments

Treatment is based on the type of cancer you have as well as factors such as its characteristics, whether it has spread, your personal preferences and more. In many cases, more than one treatment is part of your care.

  • High-dose brachytherapy
  • Hormone therapy

Why Choose Us for Your Cancer Care?

We know that every patient is unique. No two patients – or their treatment plans – are the same. This is why we take a highly personalized approach to your cancer care and we always put our patients first. Our expert clinicians work with you to develop a specialized treatment plan that fits your personal needs, because we know this results in the best outcomes. And, of course, you receive the cutting-edge treatment and compassionate care Providence is known for.

As our patient, you and your loved ones are supported by an entire care team throughout your treatment journey. Our board-certified medical oncologists use the most advanced techniques in your diagnosis and treatment. They work closely with an extensive team that includes nurse navigators, specialists and other caregivers who provide a range of support services – from prevention and education to nutrition, integrative medicine and counseling.

Cancer doesn’t discriminate, but access to great cancer care hasn’t always been the same for everyone. At Providence, we are deeply committed to making sure every patient we treat has access to the best cancer care. We value, respect and support the racial, ethnic, religious, gender, sexual and spiritual identities of each member of our diverse communities, and we never turn a patient away. Instead, we work harder to make sure every patient is treated equally and with dignity – whoever you are, and wherever you're at.

When you become a patient at Providence, you become part of a collaborative cancer-care network that often exceeds national measures for patient outcomes. This network includes award-winning physicians, scientists, researchers and caregivers across 51 hospitals in seven states. The power of this network, combined with the expertise of your local team, means you’re getting the best, most compassionate care. And if you need to meet with a specialist outside your area, we’ve got telehealth technology to help. Our network is one of the reasons 50,000 newly diagnosed cancer patients choose Providence each year.

Providence cancer research provides options, and hope, for patients seeking advanced therapies. We’re proud of our history of groundbreaking firsts and pioneering clinical trials: Providence led the international trial of the first immunotherapy to be approved for patients with melanoma. We conducted the first successful gene-engineered T-cell therapy for metastatic pancreatic cancer. And we have over 90 years of radiation research. As a Providence patient, you have the opportunity to participate in – or benefit from – one of over 1,300 new clinical trials that begin each year.
