Cancer is a group of many related diseases that starts within the cells of the body. A diagnosis of cancer, at whatever site it appears, is a medical problem. But it is also a situation that can touch on every aspect of your life as well as the lives of family members and other people close to you. For that reason, Riverside Cancer Care considers all the changes you may experience as a result of a cancer diagnosis—physical, emotional and psychological—then develops a treatment approach for the whole person, not just the disease.
Good care begins with good information. Find out more about our full range of services including the Patient Navigator Program and its emphasis on one-to-one assistance. You can also get more information on Riverside Cancer Care Center, an outpatient facility on the campus of Riverside Regional Medical Center where the highly trained physicians and staff of Riverside Cancer Services and Radiation Therapy, the Peninsula Cancer Institute and Peninsula Radiation Oncology provide innovative and personalized cancer treatment.
Our approach centers on three key areas:
- Gifted physicians who specialize in different forms of cancer and different treatment
- A dedicated staff of inpatient and outpatient oncology nurses, medical imaging experts, dieticians, radiation therapists; patient educators; financial counselors and other highly trained individuals with experience in cancer treatment
- Healing care that brings together state-of-the-art technology, comfortable and convenient facilities and a compassionate human touch
These comprehensive resources and their focus on state-of-the-art, compassionate care, mean that the people of our community can remain close to home for the full spectrum of cancer treatment.
