Cancer Care
About cancer care at Main Line Health
At Main Line Health, we see you. We provide the best options to save your life and live your life, because cancer treatment should be tough on tumors, not on patients. Our specialists provide expert and compassionate care for cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and survivorship. We treat a wide range of cancers and customize a treatment plan for every patient. We help you fight cancer and are with you every step of the way. We offer more than cancer care — we offer human care.
Comprehensive services from prevention to treatment close to home.
- Cancer surgery — Using minimally invasive and robotic surgery techniques, our physicians carefully remove cancer from areas throughout your body.
- Chemotherapy — Chemotherapy uses medicine to kill cancer cells. The latest medicines now have fewer side effects than in years past.
- Radiation therapy — We use the latest, most precise radiation therapy procedures to target cancer cells without damaging healthy cells.
- Immunotherapy — Immunotherapy uses the body's own immune system to recognize, fight and eliminate cancer cells without affecting healthy cells.
- Targeted therapies — Targeted therapies use certain types of drugs that can identify and attack genes and proteins that help cancer cells survive while sparing healthy cells.

Precision medicine
Precision medicine, also known as personalized medicine, is an innovative approach to cancer care that considers the unique differences in each person’s genes, environments and lifestyles.
Nurse navigators
A nurse navigator is a registered nurse who acts as a liaison between you and your health care providers. Learn how Main Line Health’s nurse navigators guide cancer patients throughout their care journey and beyond.
Genetics and Risk Assessment Program
Knowing if you have a high chance of developing cancer due to your genetic makeup may help to determine a personalized plan for prevention, early detection or treatment for you and your family members.
Research and clinical trials
Main Line Health participates in cancer research studies, giving you access to the latest treatments through clinical trials.
Survivorship program
With advances in medicine, millions of people are surviving and thriving with cancer. For that reason, we established The Survivorship Program — a program designed to help patients transition to life before, during and after cancer treatment, by alleviating some of their common concerns.
