Personalized Cancer Treatments 

You’ll work with our team of nationally recognized medical, radiation, and surgical oncologists to choose from a spectrum of treatments. Having treatment options is vital, which is why we offer you the latest medicines, biologic therapies, advanced radiation therapies, minimally invasive surgeries, and more.

Clinical trials are also among the best ways to treat cancer. Because they’re at the forefront of medicine with research into new techniques and medicines, clinical trials can help you access treatments that work, even before they’re widely available.

Cancer Screening and Risk Assessment

At McGlinn Cancer Institute, we use screening and risk assessment tests to find cancer before symptoms appear, or to determine your risk for certain cancers. And, if you face a cancer diagnosis, we help you understand the genetics behind it.
