The process of diagnosing and treating cancer with the most advanced tests and technology is something at which the Cancer Center at St Mary’s excels. But we are also experts at knowing you and your family so that we know what’s best for your lifestyle. And we remain by your side throughout the entire process.
At the Cancer Center, our oncologists work directly with surgeons, researchers, oncology nurses, pathologists, pharmacists and therapists who all have vast experience in the field of cancer care. Known for providing progressive, personalized and compassionate care, we offer a full range of options to treat your cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
We treat all types of cancer, including:
Our services include genetic counseling, infusion, integrative therapies and radiation oncology. We use MRIs and CT scans to help with a diagnosis.
Through clinical trials, our researchers are able to determine whether new treatments are safe, effective and work better than current treatments.
CyberKnife is also available. This non-invasive alternative to surgery treats both cancerous and non-cancerous tumors anywhere in the body. The treatment, which is painless, delivers high-dose radiation beams to tumors with extreme accuracy. CyberKnife is located in San Francisco at our sister hospital, Saint Francis.
Inside our different clinics you’ll find the care you need, all dedicated to your particular diagnosis. Our centers within the Cancer Center provide advanced protocols, and compassionate care.
