Cancer Specialties

The world-renowned experts at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) are transforming the way cancers are prevented, detected, treated and, yes, cured.

Today, cancer is no longer solely defined by location or even by stage. We know there is no routine cancer. Cancer is a complex disease, and each patient’s cancer is different, behaving differently in the bodies they’re in and calling for a tailored, individualized treatment plan for each patient.

To deliver the most effective cancer prevention and treatment, our experts identify and understand cancer at the biologic and genetic levels, unlocking the molecular code of a patient’s cancer and pinpointing what makes each cancer grow — then discovering what stops it.

Our teams of cancer subspecialists span a broad range of disciplines, from medical, surgical and radiation oncologists to molecular and biological pathologists, genetic scientists and more — all specializing in cancer research, prevention, detection and treatment.

It’s that subspecialization and singular focus that enables us to discover, develop and deliver the most targeted therapies for each individual cancer patient.

And that means our collective expertise leads to improved outcomes, faster responses, fewer side effects and more hope for cancer patients everywhere.

Immunotherapy represents the next frontier of cancer treatment and is a therapy that underscores that no cancer is routine. This treatment harnesses the individual’s immune system, expands it and the unleashes it against the cancer. Immunotherapy is providing hope for patients who are out of options, but also in many cases it is a first-line therapy that is not only effective but less harsh than chemotherapy.

Precision medicine is an exciting, in-depth way the world renowned OSUCCC – James experts can understand cancer: how it develops, grows and spreads. They then specifically evaluate cancer at the molecular level. This enables these cancer specialists to identify and target the cells of each patient’s specific disease, changing the way cancer is detected, treated and cured worldwide.
