Personalized Treatment
Patients are the center of Kellogg Cancer Center’s personalized treatment experience.
Just as no two patients are alike, neither are their options for cancer care—there is no “cookie cutter” approach. We create cancer treatment plans to best benefit each individual patient. From personal health histories to genetic considerations to individual preferences, treatment at the Kellogg Cancer Center is as individual as our patients.
Our team is able to further tailor patient care for many types of cancer by applying personalized medicine techniques to improve the diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
Patient survival rates at Kellogg Cancer Center continue to compare favorably with national benchmarks. Our patients’ positive outcomes are the most important measure of our success.

Multidisciplinary Team
Kellogg Cancer Center’s multidisciplinary approach provides optimal cancer treatments for each of our patients. To provide the best care possible, we bring together specialists, each with expertise in specific cancers, as well as other clinical staff involved in your treatment, and put their collective knowledge, skills and experience to work for you.
