    Multidimensional Cancer Care

    When you receive a cancer diagnosis, your world becomes filled with complex emotions, questions, information and decisions. But you won’t be alone on the journey. In the Sutter Health network, you'll find advanced cancer care at numerous hospitals and doctors' offices. Certain Sutter locations offer the highly specialized Sutter Cancer Centers that are certified by the American College of Surgeons as well as the Community on Cancer (COC). Our teams can help you find the appropriate care at the location most convenient to you.

    Nationally recognized cancer specialists and accredited facilities, highly trained oncology nurses and skilled technicians in the Sutter Health network work together so you have access to leading-edge treatments, progressive clinical trials and a 24/7 multidisciplinary support team.

    From day one of your diagnosis, our Nurse Navigator Program can provide you with a single, compassionate and knowledgeable point of contact who can guide you through everything from genetic testing and counseling to financial concerns. And as your key medical partner, your oncologist coordinates and oversees your medical care from your first appointment through to survivorship.

    Leaders in Advanced Cancer Technology

    Within the Sutter Health network, you have access to the forefront of technological advances in cancer care. Our areas of innovation include:

    • Radiosurgery — Using equipment available only to a handful of healthcare providers, doctors in the Sutter Health network can treat brain tumors and cancers in other parts of the body with unsurpassed accuracy—all with fewer side effects, greater comfort and improved outcomes.
    • Varian Radiosurgery TrueBeam™ STx System — Radiation oncologists in the Sutter Health network recently began using this new technology—a highly precise, faster and noninvasive way of excising tumors using shaped high-energy X-ray beams.
    • Gamma Knife — Used specifically for tumors and other medical
      problems of the head, this type of radiosurgery delivers precise
      beams of radiation to the area in need of treatment.
    • Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) — This 3-D breast cancer screening equipment  significantly improves cancer detection and reduces callback rates for findings that are not cancer.
    • Endomicroscopy — A tiny microscope smaller than the tip of a pen allows doctors to better identify pre-cancerous or malignant lesions during endoscopic procedures, and, in some cases, immediately perform what can amount to life-saving treatment—a major advance in early cancer detection.
    • da Vinci® Robotic-Assisted Surgical System — This technology enhances your cancer surgeon’s skill by providing a magnified, three-dimensional view of a surgery site, accessed through micro-incisions, allowing his or her hand to make extremely precise movements—particularly valuable for prostate, gynecological and kidney cancers.
    • Gynecologic Brachytherapy — This form of radiation therapy treats
      cancer from the inside out by inserting a sealed radioactive source
      directly into a tumor or a short distance from the tumor via special catheters
      or applicators. After treatment, the applicator is removed and you can go home.
    • Prostate Brachytherapy — Thanks to Sutter’s early adoption of this technology, some men can receive definitive prostate cancer treatment with a single outpatient procedure.
    • Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) — For certain types of breast cancer, this technology allows you to complete an entire radiation course in about one week

    Pushing the Clinical Research Envelope

    We’re committed to participating in clinical trials to help you — and thousands of others — in the fight against cancer. Since the 1950s, our research centers have conducted hundreds of groundbreaking studies leading to medical innovations in cancer and other diseases. Recent findings include a novel treatment for glioblastoma, the most common and severe form of brain cancer, and the discovery that high levels of a particular gene found in melanomas, a deadly form of skin cancer, indicate a particularly aggressive form of cancer that needs targeted treatment.

    Hundreds of Sutter patients are enrolled in cancer clinical trials each year through the Sutter Cancer Research Consortium, which coordinates the cancer research of investigators across sites within the network. This gives patients access to a diverse range of treatment options and follow-up services, and facilitates their participation in National Cancer Institute and industry-sponsored clinical trials. In addition, Sutter Health is tracking long-term outcomes for thousands of patients from previous trials, after they have completed active treatment.

    Will radiation therapy make me radioactive? External beam radiation using a linear accelerator to treat the whole or partial breast does not make anyone radioactive.
