VAMC system description of service

Our program is designated as one of the Veterans Health Administration Comprehensive Cancer Centers. We are held to the high standards of the Commission of Cancer, established by the American College of Surgeons. First accredited in 1996, our cancer program continues to be accredited from the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer annually.  We meet these standards by providing the latest technology and comprehensive cancer care that Veterans deserve. 

If you're diagnosed with cancer, our team will work with you, your primary care doctor, and other health care providers to develop a specialized treatment plan. We offer personal, compassionate, and expert care, with services like:

  • Surgical removal of tumors and other cancerous tissue
  • Immunotherapy, which helps your body's natural defenses destroy cancer cells
  • Chemotherapy, which uses powerful drugs to fight cancer
  • Radiotherapy, which uses high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors
  • Palliative care, to reduce pain and control other symptoms and side effects, like nausea

For more information, call  the Oncology Social Worker, 317-988-2384. The Medical Oncology Clinic is located in room C3004 in the medical center.
