The treatment options available include surgery, radiation therapies and medical oncology. Our services are provided to patients by a talented, experienced and compassionate team of physicians, nurses and staff members. Crozer Regional Cancer Center(CRCC) professionals remain on the forefront of cancer care, exploring and implementing the latest technology to enhance each patient's treatment plan. Our teams work closely together to plan and carry out treatment.
Medical Oncology
The medical oncologists at CRCC use an ever-expanding variety of approaches to cancer treatment, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy and hormonal therapy.
Radiation Oncology
About half of all the people who develop cancer receive radiation therapy at some time during their illness. Radiation therapy can be used to cure the cancer or to relieve disturbing symptoms and improve quality of life. Two of the most significant recent advances, Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and brachytherapy (seed implants), are available at Crozer. In addition, Crozer-Keystone is also affiliated with Philadelphia CyberKnife® in Havertown, where robotic radiosurgery is performed on tumors throughout the body.
Surgical Oncology
The treatment of cancer frequently requires surgery. A surgical biopsy is often required to determine the presence of cancer, and surgery is often the means by which a tumor is removed.
Site-specific Cancer Treatments
Crozer offers specialized site-specific cancer treatment programs for cancers affecting many different body organs and systems -- from skin cancer to lymphomas, as well as gynecologic, breast and urologic cancers.
