Our team – the surgeons, radiologists, oncologists, genetic counselors, therapists, nurses and medical staff – meet together to decide the best treatment plan when you or your family member receives a cancer diagnosis. When the patient leaves SCI after receiving a cancer diagnosis, it’s not with a list of appointments for other opinions about treatment. It’s with a treatment plan and the knowledge that their cancer care team is working for the best possible outcome.</p> <p>Collectively, our researchers have successfully achieved external grant funding in excess of $14 million. A large number of our physician faculty members also work with patients in clinical trials making new treatments and therapies available as cancer treatments advance.<br> In addition to patient care and research, many complementary programs and therapies are provided for our patients, their families and caregivers. These include support groups and dietary and nutrition counseling. Other services offered are yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Pilates and exercise programs specifically for cancer patients.<br>  </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="layout__region layout__region--second"> <div class="block image-triangle-left inline-blockmedia-item block-media-item"> <div class="field-media field field--name-field-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"><div> <div class="field-media-image field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-visually_hidden"> <div class="label-text__heading visually-hidden">Image</div> <div class="field__item"> <picture loading="eager" class="image" >  <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/featured_story_2x/public/2021-06/Simmons_welcome%20%281%29.jpg?h=66abb8fb&itok=puSey5qo 1x, /sites/default/files/styles/triangle_image_2x/public/2021-06/Simmons_welcome%20%281%29.jpg?h=66abb8fb&itok=GUQrlM4w 2x" media="all and (min-width: 451px)" type="image/jpeg" width="2082" height="1154"/> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/triangle_image_2x/public/2021-06/Simmons_welcome%20%281%29.jpg?h=66abb8fb&itok=GUQrlM4w 1x, /sites/default/files/styles/triangle_image_2x/public/2021-06/Simmons_welcome%20%281%29.jpg?h=66abb8fb&itok=GUQrlM4w 2x" type="image/jpeg" width="1438" height="1152"/>  <img class="image" src="/sites/default/files/styles/triangle_image_2x/public/2021-06/Simmons_welcome%20%281%29.jpg?h=66abb8fb&itok=GUQrlM4w" alt="immons Cancer Institute" /> </picture> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="layout layout--twocol-section layout--twocol-section--50-50 bg-edu-darkgray"> <div class="layout__region-wrapper"> <div class="layout__region layout__region--first"> <div class="block inline-blocktext block-text"> <div class="preheading"> PATIENT CARE </div> <h2 class="title">Holistic care</h2> <div class="field-body field field--name-field-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden"><p>When it comes to your cancer journey, you are not alone.
