Cancer. It’s a word you probably hoped you’d never hear.
But if you do, you want experts by your side, guiding you through what’s next. At Cleveland Clinic, our healthcare providers are there to help you through every step of the process — from testing to treatment and beyond. Throughout it all, we keep you at the center of your care. We work with you to develop a treatment plan that matches your needs and talk you through each part of the plan. And this doesn’t happen in a vacuum. We work with providers from multiple specialties to make sure we support all parts of your care. Each member of your team brings a combination of compassion and expertise with them. We know cancer wasn’t part of your plan. As you go through each part of this journey, we’ll be right there with you.
A lot of emotions may swirl through your head when you hear you might have cancer. Our team of healthcare providers walk you through each part of testing, treatment and follow-up care with compassion. We’re here to help you process everything and answer any questions you may have.
Having experts from multiple specialties by your side is an important part of your cancer journey. Our team of providers combine their expertise to provide the best possible care. We meet in groups, called tumor boards, to discuss the best options and share knowledge with each other.
We care for many types of cancer, including some of the rarest conditions. Our providers understand the ins and outs of each cancer, which lets us tailor treatment to what you need.
We always look for what’s next in cancer care. Our experts are known for research and clinical trials. We’ve pioneered treatment methods that have changed the way we approach different types of cancers and improved long-term outcomes. This includes our work with novel therapeutics. Using out-of-the-box thinking, our experts work to find new ways to approach your care.
Care doesn’t end with your last treatment. We continue to follow up with you and see how you’re doing over time. And if your cancer comes back, we’re right by your side.
Providing care throughout your cancer journey goes beyond testing and treatment. We provide support services to help you through each part of your care. Our providers are there for you — helping you through emotional, psycho-social and financial challenges.
Sometimes it can be tough getting to in-person appointments. That’s why we offer some appointments as virtual visits. You can talk with your provider one-on-one from home with an internet connection and a smartphone, tablet or computer.
Cleveland Clinic is a trusted healthcare leader. We’re recognized in the U.S. and throughout the world for our expertise and care.
We believe in working as a team to provide you with the best, most personalized and thorough care. That’s why you’ll meet with many providers along the way. Each of these specialists contributes their expertise to make sure all your needs are met.

We offer a wide range of services, resources, clinics and support groups to help with any physical, emotional, financial and spiritual needs you might have related to your cancer diagnosis.
