Cancer patients at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson have access to clinical trials, the most advanced treatments options for their disease, and some of the top cancer surgeons, radiation oncologists, and medical oncologists in the nation.
And they can also combine those treatments with the best complementary therapies and lifestyle modifications under the direction of physicians from the Jefferson Myrna Brind Center of Integrative Medicine. Whether it is acupuncture or mindfulness-based stress reduction or access to clinical trials on vitamin infusions or diet and exercise programs, the doctors at the Myrna Brind Center work closely with cancer doctors to develop individualized regimens for cancer patients.
The Integrative Cancer Care Program works in collaboration with the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson, making the cancer care experience uniquely innovative and personalized.
