Expert Cancer Care in Central Massachusetts
If you have been diagnosed with or suspect you have cancer, you want access to the best care available. UMass Memorial Health is the largest provider of health care in Central New England and the Cancer Center supports cancer care provided at all of its sites. The Medical Center in Worcester, MA is the academic medical center within the health system and provides services that are closely integrated with our community hospitals, Marlborough Hospital, Harrington Hospital, and HealthAlliance-Clinton Hospital.
The UMass Memorial Health Cancer Center is the leader in cancer treatment and diagnosis in Central New England. We treat every type of cancer, from the most common to the most complex. Our cancer center features patient-focused environments, multidisciplinary care including a full range of surgical subspecialists, state-of-the art equipment, clinical trials, and the most advanced treatments available.
Personalized Patient-Focused Cancer Care
The size and scale of our organization allows us to support the providers and clinicians who focus on your type of cancer. We are committed to multidisciplinary care and we bring these cancer specialists together to discuss each patient’s diagnosis to develop a comprehensive and customized treatment plan. In many cases, you’ll only need a single appointment to meet with our team members one-on-one. We’ll answer your questions, discuss your concerns, and attend to your physical and emotional needs. We encourage the involvement of your loved ones throughout the care process to complement the support we provide.
Our nurses, therapists, and pharmacists are specially trained to care for cancer patients and their families. In most areas, you will have access to a cancer nurse navigator who will guide you through your cancer care journey. We also offer social work, genetic counseling and screening, nutrition consults, and other support programs.
Access to the Latest Research and Clinical Trials
The UMass Memorial Medical Center is an academic medical center that partners closely with the UMass Chan Medical School.
