Multidisciplinary Approach

Dignity Health’s oncology services brings together a team of health care professionals specially trained in the identification and treatment of cancer to ensure you get the information and care you need every step of the way.

Personalized Cancer Care in Northern California

At St. Joseph's Cancer Institute, our multidisciplinary team approach to care includes diagnostic, treatment and support services to ensure the best treatment plan for cancer patients. Our team features a wide variety of board-certified cancer specialists, specially trained nurses, on-site pharmacists, social workers, chaplains, palliative care specialists, nutritional experts and support staff. They work in concert—consulting, collaborating, and maintaining open lines of communication—to maximize effectiveness in treating even the most complex cases.

Cancer Care: A Collaborative Approach

Every week, our Cancer Conferences allow our physicians and staff to review patients’ cases and reach consensus on treatment recommendations. This collaborative process ensures the best possible care for our patients.
