All patients at the Cardinal
Bernardin Cancer Center begin with a visit to one of
the center's specialty or multidisciplinary clinics.
There, the patient and family meet with the cancer specialist
responsible for establishing an individual treatment
plan and coordinating care.
Within our unique multidisciplinary
setting, a patient will meet with a team of cancer experts
that may include surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation
oncologists, radiologists, pathologists and plastic
surgeons. These specialists work together to evaluate
a patient's condition. During the same visit, patients
might also meet with a nutritionist, nurse, social worker
or other supportive staff.
