Clinical Care

DF/BWCC at Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital (DF/BWCC at BWFH) offers outpatient oncology service to patients with breast, gastrointestinal, hematologic and thoracic cancer. Additional services provided at this location include psychosocial support, nutrition guidance, as well as the opportunity to participate in Dana-Farber's innovative clinical trials in a community setting.

For patients with skin cancer, the Mohs Clinic at DF/BWCC at BWFH performs Mohs micrographic surgery, a highly-specialized technique for removing skin cancers that offers patients an excellent chance for a cure.

Patients who require surgery or inpatient care for their cancer treatment may go to either BWFH or Brigham and Women's Hospital, depending on their needs and preference. Patients who require radiation therapy will receive their radiation treatment at our Longwood campus.

Support Services

Reflecting our commitment to treating the whole patient, DF/BWCC at BWFH offers a range of support services to patients and families, including:

• Spiritual support: A chaplain is available to offer spiritual counseling and comfort to patients and families.
• Social support: Our oncology social worker can help patients and families cope with the emotional aspects of cancer treatment as well as practical issues.
