When you hear the word “cancer,” you want answers fast. At SBH Health System, you’ll find experienced cancer specialists, advanced treatment options and a team that supports you from diagnosis through survivorship.

Our cancer program brings together fellowship-trained surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists and other specialists who focus on cancer care every day. We also provide nurse navigation, social services, nutritional support, genetic counseling and survivorship resources to help you and your family throughout the cancer journey.

Our cancer treatments include:

• Surgery, including minimally invasive surgical options

If you need chemotherapy or other intravenous treatments, we have a dedicated infusion center designed to offer comfort and convenience during treatment sessions.

Cancers we treat include:

• Bladder

• Leukemia
• Liver
• Lung
• Lymphoma

Our surgeons use minimally invasive techniques and advanced methods to treat the cancer without damaging healthy tissue.

We offer comprehensive care for certain cancers at dedicated clinics. For example, we have clinics for breast, colorectal and gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. We also provide screening for cancers like breast, colorectal, lung and prostate in convenient locations in the community.

Because some cancers are hereditary, we offer genetic risk assessments and counseling, including for family members.

Our mobile mammography program brings breast cancer screening directly into the Bronx community.

By making mammograms more convenient, we help more people get screened and detect breast cancer as early as possible.
