Life Saving Cancer Care
Specialized care for your cancer diagnosis.
There are hundreds of different types of cancer. Whatever your cancer diagnosis, you can rely on the skilled cancer care team at Novant Health Cancer Institute. We tackle the rarest and most challenging conditions with the latest advancements and clinical research. You will receive the highest level of cancer treatment and recovery planning to help you manage your cancer symptoms through support resources. Cancers we treat include the following, but we offer support for all cancer types.
Your Cancer Support Services
Our certified nurse navigators are specially trained to guide you throughout your entire treatment journey. They'll help you understand your diagnosis, review your cancer treatment options with you, answer questions, help you schedule appointments to minimize clinic visits, and provide resources and encouragement every step of the way.
Cancer impacts your whole family. Take advantage of Novant Health cancer resources like counseling, cancer support groups, educational programs, and referrals to financial resources. We help you and your loved ones manage your emotional and practical needs during cancer diagnosis and treatment.
There may be times during your diagnosis, treatment or recovery when you want deeper spiritual and emotional support. We offer multi-faith support and guidance to you and your family members. Let your physician or nurse know if you would like to speak with a chaplain.
Fighting cancer can take a toll on your body. To help you get stronger and more comfortable, we offer a wide range of personalized services to help you manage your symptoms. These services can include nutrition counseling, exercise coaching, physical therapy, rehabilitation and lymphedema treatment. Many of our clinics also provide board-certified specialists in palliative care and pain management.
At Novant Health, we’re committed to care for all of you during your treatment. Integrative medicine is evidence-based treatment available in the Charlotte and Winston-Salem areas that, when combined with medical therapies, can enhance your overall healing and well-being through treatment and beyond. We’ll connect you with holistic care that may include services like pet therapy, massage, meditation and stress management, nutrition counseling, wellness programs, acupuncture and yoga.
Most cases of cancer occur by chance. However, sometimes cancer can be hereditary, which means that it runs in the family. Genetic counseling and genetic testing can help determine if you or your family members are at an increased risk to develop certain types of cancer. Understanding your hereditary risks can help prevent cancer, detect it early, or impact treatment decisions for an existing cancer. Our genetic counselors can talk with you about your family history of cancer and genetic testing options.

You're not alone in your fight against cancer. Our nationally recognized cancer teams work with you and your family to develop an individualized treatment plan. Together, we can move forward to treat your cancer, manage your symptoms and provide support at all stages.
