When faced with a cancer diagnosis, one of the most important decisions you and your loved ones must make is who to trust for your care. Last year, Mount Carmel diagnosed and treated over 2,800 cancer patients.
Mount Carmel offers a full range of cancer services and provides patients with access to advanced treatment, research and technological resources. Our team of skilled and experienced physicians includes board-certified medical, radiation and surgical oncologists who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of all types of cancers, including breast, colorectal, gynecological, lung and prostate cancers.
Our comprehensive cancer program not only provides integrated, multidisciplinary care, but also utilizes advanced technologies and cutting-edge research to prevent, detect and treat the disease. That commitment to progressive cancer care has earned Mount Carmel accreditation with commendation as a Network Cancer Program by the American College of Surgeons' Commission on Cancer. In addition, Mount Carmel's Outpatient Cancer Treatment program has been recently accredited by the American College of Radiology, giving our patients confidence that the highest level of care is provided.
- With more than 35,000 outpatient treatments, 3,500 inpatient treatments and 2,600 cancer surgeries at our hospitals and outpatient treatment centers each year, our cancer care team has considerable experience.
- Mount Carmel has access to over 100 clinical trials sponsored by the National Cancer Institute and other cooperative oncology groups. These clinical trials focus on every major type of cancer as well as cancer control and prevention studies.
- Mount Carmel has invested in state-of-the-art technologies, such as daVinci Robotic Surgical System, external beam radiation therapy with IMRT (intensity modulated radiation therapy) and brachytherapy (prostate seed implants).
- Our specially trained Cancer Patient Navigators offer fellowship, resources, education and coordination before, during and after treatment.
- Clinical education, support groups and our nationally recognized palliative care program make the cancer treatment process more empowering, supportive and comforting for our patients.
