MedStar Health’s network of world-class oncologists specialize in treating people with certain types of cancer, such as cancers of the skin, the lungs, breast, or colon. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed, it is important to make an appointment with a doctor who specializes in treating the kind of cancer you have.

Why choose MedStar Health for your care?
Our research engine is the Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center—the Washington, D.C., region's only comprehensive cancer center designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The NCI is the federal government’s principal agency for cancer research and training. Our partnership with Georgetown Lombardi allows you access to groundbreaking clinical trials and the latest breakthroughs in cancer care.
Why does this matter?
- When you have cancer, you want the best doctors and most cutting-edge treatments available. Our specialists are leaders in the field of cancer research, and work collaboratively to develop a unique treatment plan designed specifically for you.
-
Clinical trials allow us to offer you tomorrow’s cancer treatments today. Watch our director Louis M. Weiner, MD, explain how clinical trials help us develop new and innovative ways to treat cancer.
-
Only 3% of all cancer programs across the U.S. achieve a comprehensive cancer center status, which is the highest designation level awarded from the National Cancer Institute. This means we’ve demonstrated excellence in laboratory science, clinical research, and population-based programs, along with robust translational research that bridges these two areas. It also recognizes our expansive education of tomorrow’s scientists, and our outreach, which focuses on the communities we serve. Watch our video above to find out more about this designation.

-
The NCI designation is more than a distinction. It means the highest level of care for our patients. "What makes us special is the concept of cura personalis, or the care of the whole person. We don't treat diseases – we use evidence-based medicine to treat people in the context of their own lives, families, and communities." - Dr. Louis M. Weiner, director of Georgetown Lombardi and the MedStar Georgetown Cancer Institute.
