Planning for Care

Cancer treatment is a journey, and we give you both a roadmap and a navigator.

When we plan your care, we take into account not just your cancer diagnosis but your personal health history and your expectations for treatment as well.

This is used to help our cancer specialists come up with a treatment plan — with you at the center — to fight the cancer and advance the best treatment outcomes.

Effective cancer treatment planning

We know that effective cancer treatment planning provides you and your loved ones with the tools and information to advocate for yourself. Empowering you to make the best decisions leads to the best patient experience.

Our cancer specialists partner with you, communicate frequently and clearly, and adapt the treatments to your unique needs.

Your cancer treatment plan will include:

• Clear information on your diagnosis and the stage of your cancer
• When your treatment will begin and how long you should expect it to last
• Any long-term effects of your treatment
• The providers who will be responsible for different parts of your treatment journey
• Supportive resources you can access through Tanner, including nutrition counseling, spiritual services, behavioral health care, palliative care, pain management and more
• Clear understanding of the financial impact of care and the resources we offer to make your care affordable
• Our commitment to honor your wishes, including advanced directives

We bring the best science, the latest research and the most sophisticated treatments, then work with you to make sure you understand the care, the resources at your disposal and how we plan to reach our ultimate goal: life after cancer.
