With a scope of care extends beyond the realm of medicine, our staff is committed to treating not only the illness, but the emotional and practical "side effects" felt by patients and families who are touched by this disease. We provide physical and emotional support services and life-long follow-up to all our patients.
At the heart of the Erlanger Cancer Center is a philosophy focusing on patients and their families. Our commitment to providing a truly comprehensive program of cancer care is reflected in the diverse scope of services we offer.
Patients who are referred to Erlanger's Cancer Center immediately realize they have the support of the entire cancer team whose approach to care focuses on informing and educating the patient. This approach enables patients to actively participate in decisions involving their care and treatment. The staff also works closely with referring physicians to ensure continuity of care that includes follow-up and support.
Being diagnosed with cancer is often one of the most traumatic and difficult aspects of the illness for patients and families. Our supportive cancer care team is there to help. By explaining the scope of the disease and letting patients and family members know what we expect from the selected treatment methods, the Cancer Center staff strives to lessen the fears and anxieties that accompany the diagnosis.
Our patients are further comforted by the fact that Erlanger's cancer program utilizes the most advanced cancer-fighting technology coupled with cancer specialists who are among the best trained in the nation.
