Dignity Health Cancer Institute of Greater Sacramento offers a comprehensive range of cancer treatments and therapy options. As part of our commitment to provide superior patient care, we have invested in new technologies that greatly enhance our ability to detect, diagnose and treat cancer.
Advances in early diagnosis and cancer treatments help ensure more positive outcomes for patients diagnosed with different types of cancer. At Dignity Health, our specially trained doctors provide comprehensive cancer treatment services for our patients.
We use advanced treatment and surgical techniques, including:
Infusion services include chemotherapy, hormone therapy and biological therapy. Biological therapy is a sub-section of chemotherapy. These are biologically engineered drugs aimed specifically at the cancer. Some include drugs aimed at the cancer gene, while others inhibit nutrients required by the cancer cell. This area of cancer treatment has had tremendous growth in the past few years. Learn More
Depending upon diagnosis, the type and size of the cancer, radiation therapy may be used before or after surgery, or in combination with chemotherapy. Side effects will vary based on the part of the body receiving radiation. Most side effects are temporary and patients can work and remain active throughout radiation cancer treatments. Learn More
