Clinical Services for Cancer Patients
We offer advanced, patient-centered clinical care under one roof, including:
- Diagnostic imaging: Imaging services such as CT, PET/CT, MRI, digital mammography, and X-ray help detect cancer and track the effects of treatment. Imaging services are offered through Milford Regional Medical Center.
- Medical oncology: Dana-Farber's medical oncology suite provides chemotherapy and other infusion treatments. Patients also have access to many clinical trials exploring new therapies.
- Radiation oncology: Radiation therapies offered at the Center include image-guided radiation therapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy, and cone beam computed topography. Radiation oncology services are provided by Brigham and Women's Physician Organization. The Center offers seamless access to radiation oncologists at Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center in Boston who can provide disease-specific expertise for complicated cases. Radiation oncology at Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center at Milford Regional Medical Center is accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR).
- Surgical services: The Center offers surgical services for thoracic (such as lung cancer), gastrointestinal (such as colon cancer), and breast cancer.
- Second opinion clinics: Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center sub-specialists in breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancers, and genitourinary cancers (such as prostate cancer) visit Milford regularly to meet with patients, review diagnoses, and discuss treatment plans.
- Genetic counseling: The genetics program offers screening and counseling for women at high risk for breast cancer.
- Survivorship: Experts work with cancer survivors to develop personalized care plans to help them and their healthcare providers address unique medical and psychosocial needs, identify needed screening tests, and manage potential long-term or late effects of treatment.
Support Services for Cancer Patients
Reflecting our commitment to treating the "whole patient," the Center offers a range of support services to cancer patients and their families, including:
- Nutrition guidance: Balanced nutrition is an important part of cancer treatment and survivorship. Our registered dietitian works with patients to design a healthful diet that can help rebuild the body's cells, improve energy level, and manage the side effects of treatment.
- 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 challenging practical and emotional aspects of cancer treatment.
