Comprehensive services from prevention to treatment
From prevention and diagnosis to treatment and recovery, Main Line Health experts care for all aspects of cancer. We offer comprehensive services, including:
- Risk assessment and genetics – If you are at risk of cancer due to family history or other factors, we can perform risk assessments and genetic testing to determine your risk and develop a regular screening program if necessary.
- Cancer surgery – Using minimally invasive and robotic surgery techniques, our physicians carefully remove cancer from areas throughout your body.
- Chemotherapy – Chemotherapy uses medicine to kill cancer cells. The latest medicines now have fewer side effects than in years past.
- Radiation therapy – We use the latest, most precise radiation therapy procedures to target cancer cells without damaging healthy cells.
- Lymphedema management program – Lymphedema (swelling in your arm or leg) can happen after you have lymph nodes removed. We help reduce and manage this swelling so you feel more comfortable.
- Integrative services – For our patients being treated for or recovering from cancer, we offer integrative therapies, a complementary approach to medical treatment that provides relief from depression, anxiety, and stress that may accompany cancer treatment.
- Support services – We provide compassionate support throughout your cancer treatment, helping you find the resources you need for counseling, transportation and more.
