Our approach
Tanner’s cancer care program, which is accredited by the American College of Surgeons’ Commission on Cancer (CoC), is among the top cancer treatment programs in the nation. We blend the latest medical technology with nutritional navigation, emotional guidance and spiritual support to support each patient from initial diagnosis through remission and recovery.
Your cancer care team will work together with one goal: to help you conquer cancer and live a healthy life.
Diagnosis
A definitive cancer diagnosis usually requires the opinion of a pathologist, a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis of cancer and other diseases.
Your diagnosis will usually include an examination of a tissue sample. Most cancers can be treated — and many cured — depending on the specific type,
location and stage of progression.
Treatment
Once diagnosed, your cancer care team may treat your cancer with a combination of surgery,
chemotherapy
and
radiation therapy.
Many people continue to work full-time while undergoing treatment. We recommend you continue daily activities you feel able to do,
depending on symptoms and medications.
