IU Health Cancer Centers physicians focus on specific cancers so you can be assured you are receiving care from experts on your particular condition.

Surgical oncology is a standard treatment for some cancers, and may be performed as an inpatient or outpatient procedure. Many IU Health Cancer Centers use robotic surgery equipment that is highly precise and less invasive, resulting in a shorter recovery time.

Medical oncology services involve cancer treatment using medications such as chemotherapy, biotherapy and hormones.

Radiation oncology specializes in the use of electromagnetic energy to create a change in human tissue. Typically referred to as radiation therapy, this treatment can be successful in slowing or stopping certain types of malignant cell growth and may be used in combination with chemotherapy or surgery.

IU Health Cancer Centers offer numerous radiation technologies through linear accelerators and other highly advanced equipment.

Oncology rehabilitation assists patients who experience physical challenges during and after cancer treatment. This specialized field recognizes and treats the potential side effects of cancer surgeries and therapies including swelling in arms or legs, restricted mobility, balance and walking problems, fatigue or weakness, or scar tissue. Rehabilitation concentrates on improving the ability to function and enhancing their quality of life.
