About Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center :
When facing a cancer diagnosis, a common question patients ask is, “Where can I go for help?” Banner MD Anderson believes in a team approach to develop customized, comprehensive cancer care plans for our patients.
By partnering with one of the nation’s leading cancer centers, Banner MD Anderson offers exceptional cancer care that integrates cutting-edge research, education, and prevention. All Banner MD Anderson locations in Arizona and Colorado provide care based on the same protocols and practice standards as those available at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
Banner MD Anderson believes patient care is most effective when it’s truly collaborative. Their evidence-based, multidisciplinary approach brings together physicians from all cancer specialties to provide highly coordinated and compassionate care. Each patient’s cancer care team includes medical oncologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, physician specialists, nurses, and clinical support staff. Another key member of the team is the clinical nurse navigator, who works closely with patients to guide them through their first visit and serves as a single point of contact throughout their care.
What You’ll Experience:
- Educational Sessions: Interactive presentations covering essential topics related to skin cancer.
- Q&A with Experts: Ask questions and get answers from leading oncologists and dermatologists.
- Practical Tips: Learn strategies for coping with the physical and emotional challenges of living with skin cancer.
