Dana-Farber - Attleboro delivers the latest medical oncology care, including chemotherapy, biologic and targeted therapy. Our experienced team also provides care for benign hematologic disorders. Patients have access to select Dana-Farber clinical trials exploring new cancer therapies in a local setting.
Hematology/Oncology
Medical oncology and hematology care and infusion are provided by Dana-Farber - Attleboro. Infusion services include chemotherapy and immunotherapy, as well as additional medications and treatments, such as hydration or blood transfusions. Scalp cooling for patients undergoing select chemotherapy is also available. Patients receive their infusion in private "bays," provided by a team of nurses and other clinical team members offering support and resources as needed.
Genetic Counseling
The genetic counseling program can help guide a personalized approach to treatment and identify a patient’s risk of developing other cancers. Our team can also help individuals with a family history of cancer to assess their cancer risk.
Clinical Trials
Patients have access to clinical trials through the Harvard Cancer Consortium, a nationally designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, and one of the largest cancer research programs in the nation. We encourage patients to speak with their health care team about clinical trial opportunities.
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 a body’s cells, improve energy levels and manage the side effects of treatment.
Social Work and Resource Specialists
Licensed clinical social workers can counsel, guide and support you and your family as you cope with the impact of illness. These services are available by request or by referral from your doctor or nurse. Resource Specialists work closely with our social workers and can help explore options, based on eligibility and availability, regarding transportation needs, food assistance and utility protection, as well as help identify and apply to community-based financial assistance programs.
We also offer a number of online resources to help you address the range of issues you may face after treatment, including:
- Changes in the body after cancer treatment
- Emotional and physical symptom management
- Legal rights concerning health care and employment
- Finding support groups
- Maintaining, repairing, or enhancing personal relationships
- Pursuing appropriate follow-up care
Financial Services
Financial counselors are available to help explain billing policies, determine eligibility for insurance or financial assistance, and contact insurance carriers and other providers on your behalf.
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.
Pharmacy
Our pharmacy is able to prepare infusion medications on-site and works collaboratively with the care team to safely care for you.
