Noted for our multidisciplinary approach to cancer care, we serve as a central hub for all our patients’ needs, offering a full spectrum of cancer services, including screening and prevention, research, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, social/emotional support, and survivorship programs. Our specialists are leaders in the field of cancer research, and work collaboratively to develop a unique treatment plan designed specifically for each patient. Our cancer-specific nurse navigators streamline the process, ensuring the delivery of patient-centered care throughout the cancer journey. This team approach results in higher quality care and, ultimately, better outcomes.
In addition, our research engine, Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, the region’s only National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, gives patients access to breakthrough treatments and clinical trials in cancer care. Our program brings together many nationally and internationally recognized subject matter experts who are leading, designing, and writing them.
