Integrated Cancer Care

Our integrated approach to cancer care provides patients with access to specialists and supportive services throughout our system, focusing on caring for the whole health of our patients—not just their cancer.

Building unique teams of cancer experts and other specialists to meet each patient’s needs

Our patients are more than their cancer diagnoses and many often have additional medical needs to navigate. As an integrated healthcare system, Mass General Brigham is uniquely equipped to bring specialists from across medicine together as one team. Our sub-specialized, multidisciplinary cancer teams deliver personalized, comprehensive cancer care through extensive oncology services, supporting each individual patient.
