The Cancer Institute has one of the busiest thyroid centers in western Pennsylvania. We take pride in caring for our patients, supporting them throughout the process, and providing positive results. Our comprehensive service is:
- Patient-centered: You are our focus. We work with you and your family to ensure you are comfortable with the entire process and understand the next steps in your care. Our robust support services include support groups, electronic medical records, palliative care, and cancer genetics.
- Research-based: Our staff uses the latest research, findings, and technology to provide the most comprehensive treatment.
Collaborative: Multiple specialists work together to review your case and make treatment recommendations. When many experts come together to combine their expertise, you get a more thorough and effective personalized treatment plan.
- Expert: Although thyroid cancer is very treatable, the surgery to cure it is quite intricate. Our thyroid cancer experts see many patients every year, so our surgeons have a lot of experience successfully performing the procedure.
- Convenient: You don’t have to travel far to get the comprehensive care you need. You can focus your energy on your health, not on traveling.
Confirming and understanding your diagnosis is the most important first step in deciding what course of treatment is best for you. Learn more about thyroid cancer diagnosis.
