Cancer (Oncology)

At Lake Forest Hospital, a diagnosis of cancer is met with a wide host of treatment options. Our talented team includes medical oncologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, nurses specifically trained and certified in the care of the oncology patient, physical therapists, nutritionists and more—all of whom believe in treating the whole individual. They reach beyond their specialties and work together as a total support team that includes you and your family as partners in the decision-making and treatment process. By coordinating an integrated approach, they ensure that your physical, emotional and spiritual needs are met—and that every effort is made to eradicate the cancer, improve survival rates, improve function and manage or slow the disease’s progression.
