Individualized Cancer Treatment at Tampa General Hospital
Tampa General Hospital provides individualized cancer treatment with a multidisciplinary team made up of oncologists, surgeons, and other cancer specialists. Our experienced team works together to develop personalized cancer treatment plans based on each patient¡¯s specific needs. While some patients only require one type of treatment, it is often necessary to target a tumor with a combination of treatments, and our patients appreciate having access to a broad range of options at TGH, as well as support services related to nutrition, psychology, pain management, and other needs.
TGH offers cancer treatment in a caring and compassionate environment. Furthermore, we utilize leading technology to treat cancer in the most effective manner possible. Some of the main treatment options we offer include:
- Surgery ¨C Through surgery, we¡¯ll seek to remove cancer from the body. In many instances, we can perform surgery using a minimally invasive approach that allows us to eliminate a tumor while reducing the impact of the procedure on the body. Robotic surgery often allows for enhanced precision.
- Chemotherapy ¨C Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. At TGH, we provide chemotherapy infusions on both an inpatient and outpatient basis.
- Radiation therapy ¨C High doses of radiation can destroy cancer cells and shrink tumors. The radiation treatments we perform include image-guided radiation therapy and stereotactic radiosurgery that enable us to target cancer cells precisely while protecting healthy tissue.
- Immunotherapy ¨C With immunotherapy cancer treatment, we use substances derived from living organisms to stimulate or suppress the immune system so the body can more easily fight cancer.
