Multidisciplinary team of cancer healthcare specialists

NCH teams of highly experienced, board-certified physicians including surgeons, pathologists, oncologists, radiologists and other specialists, Magnet™-designated nurses, advanced practice nurses, social workers and nutrition professionals work together to provide the best possible care throughout your treatment process. These teams meet weekly to review all NCH cancer diagnosis and treatment plans at least once - giving all of our cancer patients the benefit of 10 or more second opinions. Among topics reviewed at the case study meetings are patients’ medical history, diagnostic testing, surgical procedures, stage of disease diagnosis, treatment options, and pain management options. NCH's team-based approach gives you the attention and care you deserve.

Personalized, ongoing support from our Cancer Nurse Navigators

If you are diagnosed with Breast, Gastrointestinal, Pancreas or Prostate cancer, specially trained nurses are available to help you and your family every step of the way. These Nurse Navigators will help you understand your treatment options, assist you with scheduling tests and appointments, and help you find the resources you need before and after treatment. They are available to listen and provide support any time you need them.

We also explore the emotional side of caregiving through the Schwartz Center Rounds. These unique multidisciplinary sessions have been proven to help our clinical staff connect better with patients, and enhance their ability to understand the effects of illness on patients and their families.
