Cancer Treatments in Salinas

Leading-Edge Cancer Care

Advances in cancer care have created more effective and personalized treatment options than ever before. Because every diagnosis is unique, treatment often involves a coordinated, multi-specialty approach designed specifically for you.

At Salinas Valley Health, your care team considers your overall health, the characteristics of your condition, and your individual preferences to develop a treatment plan that is both effective and supportive of your quality of life.

Treatment options may include:

  • Surgery – Surgery can remove affected tissue and may also be used to help diagnose or better understand a condition. It is often combined with other treatments to ensure comprehensive care.
  • Chemotherapy – Chemotherapy uses specialized medications to treat cancer throughout the body. Today’s approaches include supportive therapies to help manage side effects and improve comfort during treatment.
  • Radiation therapy – Radiation therapy delivers targeted energy to treat cancer in specific areas. It is often used alongside other treatments to enhance effectiveness.
  • Hormone therapy – Some cancers are influenced by hormones. Hormone therapy works by blocking or reducing these hormones to slow or stop cancer growth.
  • Targeted therapy – Targeted therapies are designed to focus on specific cancer cells, helping to limit impact on healthy tissue and support better overall tolerance.
  • Immunotherapy (Biological therapy) – Immunotherapy helps strengthen your body’s natural defenses, enabling your immune system to better recognize and respond to cancer.
  • Stem cell transplant – In certain cases, stem cell therapy may be used to help restore healthy cells and restore immune function.
