Targeted Therapies
Embracing Science and Innovation to Fight Cancer
Our oncology specialists recognize that each patient and cancer diagnosis are unique. Using advanced technologies, such as genetic tests and DNA sequencing, our medical teams are able to create personalized treatment plans for the best possible outcomes.
Genetic Cancer Screening
FCS offers robust genetic screening, counseling and testing services. People can inherit genetic mutations from their parents that put them at increased risk of developing certain cancers. Supported by the latest technology, our specially trained genetics specialists are able to identify inherited risk factors. With this information, your cancer doctor can help you take steps towards early interventions that can be life changing.
DNA Cancer Testing and Genetic Sequencing
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a form of genetic testing that can detect mutations in hundreds of different genes simultaneously. FCS specializes in NGS testing. This allows oncologists to gain a precise understanding of each patient’s individual cancer. Through NGS testing, physicians are increasing cure rates and extending lives with targeted therapies based on each patient’s unique molecular profile.
On the Forefront of Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy uses the body’s own immune system to find, target and fight cancer cells, even at advanced stages. FCS oncologists are on the forefront of immunotherapy research and innovation.
Chemotherapy and radiation therapy have been widely used for decades to treat cancer. While effective, these treatments can also destroy healthy blood cells and harm the body’s production of new cells. At FCS treatment centers, targeted immunotherapy may be used alone or in combination with other therapies and/or surgery to improve outcomes, often with less side effects.
Advanced Care with Compassion
Supporting You and Your Family Throughout Your Journey
Patients living with cancer and their family members face many choices and challenges. Mental health is just as important as physical well-being and our care management teams are here to support you throughout your journey.
The uncertainties and disruptions caused by illness can trigger psychological or emotional distress. FCS offers behavioral health specialists and oncology social workers dedicated to supporting you through stress, anxiety, insomnia or other emotional difficulties.
We are at your side every step of the way.
Working in cooperation with your oncology doctor and other members of your care team, supportive care specialists provide information and comfort. Our goal is to ease stress and lend expertise so that patients have the best quality of life throughout their treatment journey. Our specialists understand cancer treatment and can provide recommendations to help manage symptoms. They also assist with making decisions based on the unique needs and goals of each patient and family.
