The Todd Cancer Institute (TCI) is dedicated to the early diagnosis, research, treatment and education of patients with cancer or serious blood diseases. Through interdisciplinary treatment planning conferences, TCI specialists review new or difficult cases and develop treatment plans best suited to the needs of each individual patient.
At the forefront of cancer management are the divisions of gynecologic, breast, thoracic, gastrointestinal, genitourinary and pediatric oncology, radiation oncology and genetic counseling services. The Institute provides comprehensive care to adult and pediatric patients in a warm and caring environment. Personalized care, developed for the unique needs of each patient, is a clinical reality at the Todd Cancer Institute.
