ASK US HOWOur oncology team is saving lives, together.

At McGlinn Cancer Institute at Reading Hospital, our multidisciplinary team knows it’s not just about treating cancer, it's about treating the entire person. That’s why our radiation, medical and surgical oncologists work together and partner with our patients to tailor each and every treatment to meet their unique needs. By combining our individual specialties and precision medicine with a passion for changing the course of cancer, we’re significantly reducing treatment times and increasing the chance of reaching full remission or a cure.

Medical Oncologists treat patients with a variety of options, including cancer-fighting chemotherapy drugs or immune-system strengthening immunotherapy. Typically, our oncologists specialize in the treatment of one or more types of cancer in a specific organ, tissue or region of the body.

Radiation Oncologists specialize in treating cancer using state-of-the-art radiation therapy with pinpoint accuracy to shrink or eliminate tumors. Each member of our team has passed specialized boards in Radiation Biology, Radiation Physics and Clinical Radiation Oncology in order to prescribe the use of radiation for treatment. And, all of our radiation oncologists have expertise in using targeted approaches for radiation, including stereotactic radiosurgery and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).

Gynecologic Oncologists specialize in diagnosing and treating cancers located in the female reproductive organs. Our team is skilled in minimally invasive, robotic surgery using da Vinci® Surgical Systems — allowing many of our patients to return home either on the same day as their procedure or the day following surgery.

Surgical Oncologists specialize in removing and treating cancer using innovative surgical techniques. Many of our surgical oncologists use specialized technology and minimally invasive procedures, such as robotic surgery, which shorten recovery times and allow our patients to get back to their lives faster.
