We view every patient as an individual, with unique needs and expectations. This understanding guides us in creating a treatment plan that takes your lifestyle and goals into account.
As a new patient, you'll have your tumors tested for molecular alterations, the results of which will help form the basis of your therapy.
Our scientists head a variety of local and international research studies investigating the molecular makeup of colorectal, esophageal, stomach, neuroendocrine, and other gastrointestinal cancers. This allows us to offer a range of innovative clinical trials that may benefit patients today and in the future.
In addition to offering the latest in clinical care, we provide a wide range of resources — from support groups to nutritional advice to integrative therapies — to support you physically and emotionally throughout your treatment.
We believe that there is more to caring for you than just treating your diagnosis. With that in mind, we offer a comprehensive range of services. These include:
- individual and family counseling by social workers, psychologists, or psychiatrists; religious and spiritual counseling by clergy representing all faiths
- counseling to help you talk with your children about cancer and identify ways to help your children cope
- rehabilitation and physical therapy
- nutrition counseling
- palliative care
- integrative therapies (including massage and Reiki) through the Zakim Center
- educational programs and support groups
- a clinician-staffed resource center providing access to the latest information about cancer
- individual and family counseling by social workers, psychologists, or psychiatrists; religious and spiritual counseling by clergy representing all faiths
