Urologic Cancer Treatments
da Vinci® Robotic Surgery
The da Vinci® SP1 Surgical System is an innovative robotic platform that allows surgeons to perform complex surgeries through a single incision.
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) uses an ultrasound probe to deliver high-intensity sound waves at a precise point. The magnitude of ultrasound energy delivered rapidly raises the temperature at the focal point, causing coagulation necrosis without damaging healthy tissue and structures outside the targeted area.
Chemotherapy/Systemic Therapy
Chemotherapy uses powerful drugs or chemicals to directly attack cancerous cells. Systemic Therapy is a non-surgical treatment option for cancer patients. Systemic therapy is when drugs are administered into a patient’s blood stream to stop or slow the growth of cancerous cells. Biological therapy, also referred to as “Immunotherapy” utilizes the body immune system to fight cancer cells.
Precision Medicine Program
Hoag’s Precision Medicine Program combines genomics and genetics to diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases. Using the latest advances in genomic technologies, targeted therapies and research, our precision medicine program brings together a multidisciplinary team, including a robust genetic counseling group of experts, to provide patients with the latest in innovation and technology.
Radiation Oncology
Hoag’s Radiation Oncology Program offers the widest range of radiation therapy options available, ensuring every treatment plan is precisely tailored to each patient.
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)
Stereotactic Radiation Therapy (SRT) is an intermediate technique, with many of the characteristics of both Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Image-Guided Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IG-IMRT). When applied outside of the brain, this technique is often called Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT).
Tumor Boards
Tumor boards* are a meeting of Hoag’s top experts in their respective subspecialties to determine the best approach for a patient’s individual cancer case.
Palliative Care
Palliative care is a specialty that focuses on improving the quality of life of individuals facing serious illness through medical management and emotional support.
Cancer Clinical Trials
Early development clinical trials (phase I and II) are novel drug therapies that examine new treatments that provide options beyond standard of care. During these trials, researchers are carefully examining the best way to administer the treatment, determine how much can be safely given, identify important potential side effects, as well as assess cancer response.
