Cancer Care
Our doctors actively work together to discuss the best treatment for every patient through our tumor boards.
When you or a loved one is diagnosed with cancer, cancer services at University of Maryland Capital Region Health provides comprehensive care and treatment.
To better serve the region, University of Maryland Capital Region Health is expanding its Cancer Services. Planning is underway for the construction of a new Cancer Center, scheduled to open in 2021. The center will house two linear accelerators for radiation therapy.
The UM Capital team is also actively working to achieve cancer center accreditation from the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer.
