Cancer Treatment

If you or a loved one has cancer, you may feel worried or even scared about what lies ahead. However, we believe that you should never have to be concerned about the quality of your treatment.

At Baylor, we offer pioneering, effective treatments in the fight against cancer. In recent years, we were one of the firsts in North Texas to give a patient gene therapy for cancer-a symbol of our dedication to bringing you the innovative care you need. Research and clinical studies in cancer treatment are always taking place at Baylor. And because surviving cancer means embracing life, we help our patients through a range of rehabilitation services designed to help you return to the activities you enjoy as soon as possible.

Baylor cancer teams-physicians on the medical staff, nurses, therapists, social workers, and chaplains-focus on meeting your emotional and physical needs by providing expert care, support, and confidence throughout all stages of your disease. The teams recognize the diverse traits of cancer and focus on individualized treatment. Doctors evaluate the type, stage, and aggressiveness of each person's disease to individually tailor cancer programs and treatments.
