Advanced options for treatment
Cancer is a complex disease that often requires multiple types of treatment. Your care plan at Einstein may include:
Radiation therapy
Chemotherapy and hormonal therapy (also known as medical oncology)
- Chemotherapy, which uses powerful drugs to attack cancer cells, is available at Einstein on both an inpatient and outpatient basis.
- Hormone therapy uses medicines to prevent cancer cells from multiplying.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
- Minimally invasive cancer treatment using heat to destroy cancer cells.
Surgery
- An operation to remove all or part of a tumor to diagnose or treat your cancer.
- We use the latest video-assisted technology to identify the full extent of your cancer and offer both traditional and minimally invasive surgical techniques, such as laparoscopic colon resections.
