Allegheny Health Network: Top-ranked cancer care for improving patient wellness
The Allegheny Health Network Cancer Institute offers integrated,
innovative, and patient-centered care
At Allegheny Health Network’s Cancer Institute, patients receive the
highest quality and safest oncology care through one of the most
integrated and innovative cancer programs in the United States,
providing both clinical excellence and a patient-focused approach
to treating cancer.
Whether treatment requires surgery, radiation therapy,
chemotherapy, biologic therapy, or immunotherapy, you will
receive compassionate, individualized, and optimal care at all of our
cancer clinics. Our focus is on you and your well-being.
We handle all aspects of your care, so you don’t have to manage
it on your own. We ensure that your treatment plan is well
coordinated from your first visit throughout each stage of your
care. Our staff coordinates all of the doctors involved in your
case, schedules appointments that are convenient for you, and
continually communicates with you about tests, treatments, and
consultations.
“Our patients have access to the best current standards of care as
well as advancing standards of care being explored in clinical trials
at Allegheny Health Network, and also at Johns Hopkins Kimmel
Cancer Center through our collaborative affiliation,” said David
Parda, MD, Professor and Chair of the Allegheny Health Network
Cancer Institute.
Allegheny Health Network Cancer Institute’s research initiatives are
diverse and varied, but they all center around improving people’s
health and saving lives. We currently have more than 200 clinical
trials that ensure you have access to developing specialty care that
has the potential to improve the outcome of your treatment.
With a team of highly experienced doctors from their specific
cancer-related fields who collaborate and develop specialized
treatment plans for each patient, we treat cancer from every
possible angle in an environment where you feel supported, safe,
and well-cared for.
Every day, our renowned oncologists from each cancer specialty
— surgical, radiation, medical, and hematology — work together
to save lives using the finest technology and most groundbreaking
research to prevent, pinpoint, and eradicate cancer. The Allegheny
Health Network Cancer Institute’s best practices and outcomes
in various types of cancer consistently rank among the most
successful cancer programs in the region and country.
We understand the difficulty of being diagnosed with cancer,
and we know that treatments can sometimes be tiring and timeconsuming. So our goal is to make it as easy as possible on your
body, your mind, and your schedule. That’s why we have set up
a regional network of over 50 cancer clinics, including our seven
hospitals and three health + wellness pavilions, throughout
western Pennsylvania and stretching to eastern Ohio. This allows
you to receive all forms of cancer treatment close to your home
and in comfortable surroundings. Our doctors and staff will work
relentlessly to eliminate your cancer, make sure treatments affect
your daily routine as little as possible, and return you to a healthy
life. We have done this successfully for thousands of patients over
many decades.
