Cancer Center

Where c-a-n-c-e-r spells hope. At St. Vincent Medical Center's Cancer Treatment Center, our primary goal is to be both aggressive and compassionate in the fight to beat cancer. We are also aware that this fight can take many directions, and so each patient's case becomes a map for providing the most appropriate treatment. To best treat cancer, our physicians may recommend one or a combination of some of the following:

• Surgery

• Chemotherapy

• Radiation therapy

• Brachytherapy

• Intensity Modulation Radiation Therapy (IMRT)

• Stereotactic radiotherapy

Accreditation & Memberships

We are accredited by:

• American College of Surgeons (ACOS)

We are also proud members of the following organizations:

• Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP)

• Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC)

In addition, we have research affiliations with several national cancer study groups including:

• National Surgical Adjuvant Breast Project (NSABP)

• Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG)

• Coalition of National Cancer Cooperative Groups (CNCCG)

St. Vincent Medical Center works closely with the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the government agency that sets the standards for cancer treatment in the United States. NCI-affiliated hospitals are required to take part in an intensive review process, and usually only those conducting the most promising and leading-edge research are associated with this government agency. As you will see as you read through our site, providing hope for those with cancer is key to also helping find a cure. Through new treatment opportunities, clinical trials and more, the Cancer Treatment Center is recognized as a community leader in cancer care.

Our mission is to provide comprehensive cancer care. Our oncologists endeavor to achieve a superior outcome, quality of life, and survival for each patient. Sometimes achieving that quality of life can come from complementary medicine. The medical team at the Cancer Treatment Center is assisted by the Center for Health & Healing, a complementary medicine center whose licensed and certified practitioners can help to alleviate and reduce the anticipated side-effects of cancer.
