Multidisciplinary Cancer Clinics

Multidisciplinary cancer clinics at Lehigh Valley Topper Cancer Institute

At the Cancer Institute you have access to a broad range of care options. Our multidisciplinary cancer clinics use a team approach to quickly determine the treatments and support services that are right for you.

Multidisciplinary clinics make it easy to receive complete care based on the recommendations of multiple cancer experts. Clinics are available at Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) facilities close to home. Our team sees most patients within a few days of diagnosis.

Highlights of our multidisciplinary cancer clinics include:

• Expertise: The Cancer Institute is home to cancer specialists you won’t find elsewhere in the region, including board-certified surgeons specializing in complex cancer procedures. Our multidisciplinary teams also include providers with decades of cancer care experience.
• Leading-edge care: You can feel confident you are receiving the best available cancer care thanks to our disease management teams. Specialists from the Cancer Institute, including many providers from our multidisciplinary clinics, meet regularly to ensure our services reflect promising new care practices.
• Support: We connect you with a nurse navigator who is available to you throughout your cancer care journey. Our navigators lend a caring ear, coordinate helpful services and make your appointments.
