Cancer treatment varies depending upon your type of cancer, stage of cancer and overall condition. Additionally, your treatment may vary depending on whether or not the goal of your treatment is to cure your cancer or to relieve the symptoms caused by cancer.
Depending on these factors, you may receive one or more of the following:
Surgery
Radiation Therapy
Medical Oncology- Chemotherapy
- Hormonal Therapy
- Targeted or Biological Therapy
One or more treatment modalities may be used to provide you with the most effective treatment. Increasingly, it is common to use several treatment modalities together (concurrently) or in sequence with the goal of preventing recurrence. This is referred to as multi-modality treatment of the cancer.
Holistic Approach
One of the approaches that makes The Marin Cancer Institute unique is the comprehensive program of integrative holistic therapies and support services offered through the Institute of Health & Healing.
Clinical Trials
Currently MCI is participating in some leading edge clinical trials involving radiation therapies. In an ongoing effort to offer the latest treatments to our patients, we invite you to learn more about these trials and speak to your oncologist if you are interested in participating.
