Personalized cancer treatment at Endeavor Health

No two cancers — or patients — are alike. That’s why every treatment plan at Endeavor Health is carefully tailored to your cancer type, stage and personal goals. Our specialists work with you to create a care plan that’s both clinically superior and aligned with your values and priorities.

Our approach to cancer treatment

Cancer treatment at Endeavor Health is built on collaboration. Our multidisciplinary teams, including medical oncologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, radiologists, pathologists and other oncology experts work together to review your diagnosis and develop a coordinated care plan.

We do this by holding “tumor boards,” or specialty cancer conferences, where our team members review your diagnosis together and make treatment recommendations tailored to your individual needs.

You’ll have access to the  latest advances in cancer medicine, from genomic testing and precision imaging, to innovative therapies, like theranostics and immunotherapy. And, you’ll be supported by experts every step of the way, with care that’s as personalized as it is progressive.

Treatment options

Medications and infusion therapies

We offer the latest in chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy and hormone therapy — often delivered in our infusion centers by specially-trained oncology nurses. These therapies may be used alone or in combination to treat cancer, reduce  symptoms, and/or help prevent recurrence.

Hormonal therapy

Hormonal therapy alters hormone levels to slow or stop the growth of hormone-sensitive cancers, including breast and prostate cancer. It can also reduce the risk of recurrence and help reduce ongoing symptoms.

Immunotherapy

This treatment trains your immune system to detect and attack cancer cells. Immunotherapy may have fewer side effects than traditional treatments and can be especially effective in certain cancer types or advanced-stage disease.

Radiation therapy

We provide a full range of radiation options, including EBT (external beam therapy), IMRT (intensity-modulated radiation therapy), SBRT (stereotactic body radiation therapy) and brachytherapy. Our state-of-the-art linear accelerators allow us to target tumors precisely, minimizing side effects and protecting healthy tissue. Stereotactic radiosurgery technology is available for eligible patients.

Advanced surgical procedures

Whenever possible, our surgeons use minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery. These options can result in shorter hospital stays, quicker recovery, and less disruption to your daily life.

Regional cancer therapies

For certain cancers that are confined to a specific area of the body, such as peritoneal surface malignancies, we offer specialized regional treatments. These may include HIPEC (hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy) — a heated chemotherapy treatment delivered directly to the abdominal cavity during surgery. This approach targets cancer cells more precisely while limiting side effects to the rest of the body.

Interventional oncology

These image-guided procedures treat cancer using precise tools, such as thermal ablation of painful or growing tumors, embolization of bleeding tumors, the placement of colonic stents for tumor-related blockage, and other procedures.

Theranostics

Theranostics combines diagnostics and treatment using targeted radioactive agents. It’s often used in neuroendocrine tumors or advanced prostate cancer to deliver therapy directly to cancer cells with minimal impact on surrounding tissue.

Palliative care and symptom support

We support your comfort, wellbeing and quality of life through every stage of treatment. Our palliative care services help manage symptoms like pain, nausea, anxiety and fatigue — improving your overall quality of life during cancer care.

Clinical trials

Clinical trials allow patients to access promising new therapies before they become widely available. These may include targeted treatments, immunotherapies or supportive care approaches. Your care team will let you know if a study may be a good fit.
