Where Should I Go for Treatment?

Most patients receive cancer treatments in a physician’s office, which may be part of a large hospital or other healthcare institution. Depending on the type of cancer you have, you may want to see research specialists in your geographic area. However, in some cases you can receive the same high-quality treatment in a community hospital as you would in a large academic institution. Although you want to get the best care possible, you should feel comfortable with your healthcare providers. The American Cancer Society (ACS) has helpful tips for finding the right healthcare provider.
