Meet Our Cancer Teams

At Mitchell Memorial Cancer Center, we believe top-quality care begins with the very best physicians working together to ensure each patient receives the most effective treatment possible.

Our medical, radiation and surgical oncologists meet regularly to evaluate, then strategize your treatment options. These meetings, called “tumor conferences,” combine the unique skills and expertise of each specialty to determine your best treatment options.

In addition to physician specialists, your cancer care team may also include surgeons, pathologists, radiologists, nurses, therapists, medical physicists, patient educators, case managers, dietitians and chaplains.
