Cancer Care

Types of Cancer We Treat

Every patient benefits from a team of experts.

Expert Care for Every Cancer Diagnosis

At the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute, you receive all your care - screening, prevention, treatment, and support - under one roof. But the real strength of our program is our multidisciplinary approach.

At ChristianaCare, every patient benefits from a dedicated team of different specialists who work together to develop a personalized care and treatment plan. You'll meet with a nurse navigator and a team of doctors - such as surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists - all in one coordinated visit.

This collaborative model leads to better outcomes, improved quality of life, and care that's tailored to your specific diagnosis. We use this multidisciplinary approach across a wide range of cancer types. Explore the cancers we treat at ChristianaCare below.
