  • Personalized
    for You

    From an individualized treatment plan that recognizes who you are, to specialized therapies based on the genetic profile of your specific cancer — everything we do is centered around your unique needs.

    Your Care Team

    Patients of every age need care tailored to their needs. Just as caring for children requires a distinct set of approaches and techniques, the same is true for adults across the age span. For children, for young adults, for older adults — at Dana-Farber, our experts have the clinical expertise, experience, and compassion to treat you, your child, or your loved one with the specialized approach they need.

    Specialized Centers

    We care for adults and children with cancer in our specialized treatment centers, focused on specific cancer types. Our teams of specialists work closely together to offer patients the latest therapies and clinical services, including access to innovative clinical trials.

    Patient & Family Support Services

    We understand that cancer affects patients and their families in many ways. We offer a wide range of services, from financial planning to creative arts to spiritual care and more, to support our patients through their cancer experiences.

    Counseling

    Patients and their loved ones often face many new concerns and anxieties following a cancer diagnosis. Dana-Farber’s team of social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, and other staff work with patients, families, and other members of the health care team to provide integrated care and support for each patient’s unique needs.

    Nutrition Services

    Nutrition experts at Dana-Farber will help you follow a healthy diet during and after your cancer treatment. We have special training in oncology and nutrition, and base our advice on scientifically sound nutrition research.

    Integrative Therapies

    The Leonard P. Zakim Center for Integrative Therapies and Healthy Living at Dana-Farber is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for cancer patients and their families by incorporating complementary therapies — including acupuncture, massage, Reiki, meditation, creative arts, and movement classes — into traditional cancer care.

  • Innovation Means Better Care Sooner

    Our clinicians — medical oncologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and nursing staff — have deep experience treating your particular type of cancer.
