Clinical and Support Services
Dana-Farber Brigham - Foxborough delivers the latest medical oncology care, including chemotherapy, biologic, and targeted therapy. Patients have local access to select clinical trials exploring new cancer therapies. Our experienced team also provides care for benign hematologic disorders.
Oncology/Hematology
Medical oncology and hematology care and infusion are provided by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. 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.
Clinical Trials
As a national designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, patients have access to many clinical trials. We encourage patients to speak with their health care team about clinical trial opportunities.
Pharmacy
Our pharmacy is able to prepare infusion medications on-site and works collaboratively with the care team to safely care for you.
Nutrition Services
Our registered dietitians have special training in oncology and integrative nutrition. They can work with you and other members of your care team to tailor an eating plan that fits with your diagnosis and treatment, address changes in appetite or weight, manage the side effects of cancer treatment, and more.
Social Workers 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
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.
Palliative Care
Palliative care is specialized medical care designed to improve your quality of life when you're managing a serious illness like cancer. It focuses on easing your symptoms and stress. You can receive palliative care at any stage of your illness and it may be offered alongside other treatments.
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.
Spiritual Support
Resources are available to listen and offer support and prayer for those with questions about faith, hope, doubt, and other spiritual concerns.
Financial Services
Our financial counselors can help explain billing policies, determine eligibility for insurance or financial assistance, and contact insurance carriers and other providers on your behalf.
