Post-Treatment
Survivorship
Our survivorship program is a continuation of your cancer care. The goal is to help patients navigate next steps after cancer treatment. You will be seen by our survivorship nurse practitioner who works directly with your medical oncologist.
Genetic Testing
Cancer is a common disease. However, some people have a greater chance of developing cancer. This may be due to gene changes that are passed through the family. Inherited gene changes are responsible for 5 to 10% of all cancers.
For example, evidence suggests that having a father or brother with prostate cancer more than doubles a man's risk of developing this disease. Knowing your cancer risk factors, including genetics, can make an astounding difference in your future health.
