The cancer center is partnered with Fox Chase Cancer Center, which has been designated a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute. The cancer center offers all of the benefits of a large academic medical center, including access to clinical trials, with the added convenience of proximity to your home.

Medical Oncology

The medical oncologists at the cancer center utilize an ever-expanding variety of approaches to cancer treatment, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy and hormonal therapy.

Radiation Oncology

About half of all the people who develop cancer receive radiation therapy at some time during their illness. Radiation therapy can be used to cure the cancer or to relieve disturbing symptoms, improve quality of life, or as a supplemental treatment to chemotherapy and surgery. Two of the most significant recent advances, Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and brachytherapy (seed implants), are available at Crozer.

Surgical Oncology

The treatment of cancer frequently requires surgery. A surgical biopsy is often required to determine the presence of cancer, and surgery is often the means by which a tumor is removed.  

Site-specific Cancer Treatments

The cancer center offers specialized site-specific cancer treatment programs for cancers affecting many different body organs and systems -- from skin cancer to lymphomas, as well as gynecologic, breast and urologic cancers.

Support for Mind and Spirit

The cancer center offers a variety of support services for patients and their families, including supportive counseling, symptom management and nutritional counseling.

To help those in our community prevent cancer, the cancer center offers a unique cancer risk assessment program as well as a range of regular screenings and educational events.
