Your Care Team at Columbia Cancer
Your care team may include:
- Gastroenterologists, specialists of the digestive tract who perform endoscopies and other tests to look for abnormalities.
- Pathologists, who examine tissue and fluid to look for changes in cells in order to classify a tumor’s stage and look for markers that will help your care team determine the best course of treatment for you.
- Medical oncologists, who direct treatments such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.
- Surgeons, including thoracic surgeons, who specialize in operations in the neck and chest area, and abdominal surgeons.
- Radiation oncologists, who use radiation to precisely target cancer cells, causing them to be damaged and die.
- Nurses and nurse practitioners, who provide hands-on medical and supportive care along your journey. Nurse navigators may also help you through specific processes, such as enrolling in a clinical trial.
- Genetic counselors, who run our genetic testing program and provide you with information about testing and help and support in interpreting results.
- Mental health experts, including our psychosocial oncology team, who help you and your family cope with the wide range of emotions that come with a cancer diagnosis.
- Social workers, who can help you find resources in the community and provide emotional support.
- Integrative health practitioners, including reiki, massage, acupuncture, yoga therapy, meditation, and more, to help you deal with the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of cancer treatment and survivorship.
- Nutritionists, to help you create and follow a plan that will support the healing your body must do during and after cancer treatment.
- Physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists, who help you regain function you might have lost due to surgery or treatment side effects.
- Spiritual practitioners, multifaith chaplains who can help with your religious, spiritual, and emotional needs and help you make decisions, participate in religious rituals, and more.
- Cancer support groups, often run by survivors, that can help you find community and support on your journey.
