Our Care

Our cancer treatments are based on three fundamental approaches to care:

  • Surgical care  – We offer minimally invasive and — whenever possible — robotic-assisted approaches to care so surgeons can remove every bit of cancer with less blood loss, less scaring and faster, easier recoveries.
  • Radiotherapy – Using the latest, most sophisticated linear accelerators, Tanner Cancer Care can deliver an unprecedented radiation therapy experience.
  • Chemotherapy and immunotherapy – Our oncologists work together to identify the latest, most proven treatment techniques and find any clinical trials for which you qualify, ensuring the most advanced approach to cancer care now and long after your cancer has been defeated to reduce the risk of recurrence.

As part of a regional health system, we’re also able to offer more comprehensive cancer care services, including:

  • Specialists  – With more than 350 providers on our medical staff representing more than 35 medical specialties, there’s always a doctor at hand who specializes in what you’re experiencing.
  • Dietitians – Our dietitians guide you toward foods that help you feel your best, creating a plan that fits your body and your needs during treatment.
  • Spiritual support – Taking on cancer is easier when your mind and your soul are in the right place. Our chaplains and other supportive clergy help you every step of the way.
  • Mental health – Our counselors and therapists are ready to help you and your loved ones with your concerns, discuss survivorship and more. You’re facing anxiety, depression or other problems — we specialize in helping you overcome them.
  • Navigators – Our patient navigators are dedicated to helping you overcome any obstacles to your care — financial, transportation or otherwise. If you have a question, our navigators are ready to help.
