Hematology & Oncology Treatment & Services
PCI’s medical oncology team works closely with surgeons, radiation oncologists, and the Helen G Nassif Community Cancer Center to provide a complete and comprehensive “whole person” approach to cancer care.
When cancer is diagnosed, we help you weigh all the options for treatment. If surgery is an option, you can rest assured PCI brings together the top surgical oncologists across a variety of fields.

PCI’s Plastic and Reconstructive surgeons help to reconstruct areas of the body that have had cancer removed. Some examples include breast reconstruction and Mohs reconstruction after skin cancer surgery.
Some cancers cannot be treated with surgery. Cancers such as Leukemia (cancer of the blood) and Lymphoma (cancer of the lymphatic system) can be treated with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, or bone marrow transplant.
You may need radiation therapy, chemotherapy or immunotherapy before or after surgery, depending on the type of cancer, cancer stage and other factors. Our oncology team will work closely with you to discuss all your treatment options and the resources available to help you along the way.
