When you or a loved one receives a cancer diagnosis, our experts can help. We have years of experience in treating cancer so you can be confident you're getting excellent care. Our multidisciplinary team with board-certified, fellowship-trained physicians works together through our tumor boards to create a personalized treatment plan for your cancer.
Rare and complex cancers are cancers that fewer people experience or that require more advanced treatments from highly trained cancer specialists. The National Cancer Institute defines a rare cancer as one that occurs in fewer than 15 out of 100,000 people each year.
Our experts at Sentara use a range of tests, including blood tests, imaging and biopsies, to diagnose rare and complex cancers. We always start by doing a physical exam and talking with you about your symptoms and medical history.
We offer targeted treatment methods and therapies for rare and complex cancers based on your cancer type and the most advanced care options. Learn more about our cancer treatments. Our experts and partners also research new ways to treat cancer. Please read about our work at our Sentara Health Research Center.
We offer a range of services to support you during and after treatment for cancer. Learn more about cancer support services.
